A tense moment at the end of the game between the San Francisco 49ers and Jacksonville Jaguars saw two coaches being separated from fighting each other.
At the conclusion of the game – which ended with a Jaguars win – Jacksonville head coach Liam Coen was seen yelling at 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh.
Coen was barking at Saleh, but was being led away by Jaguars center Robert Hainsey.
It’s not clear what started this particular incident, but it does come after Saleh made comments accusing the Jaguars of spying.
Earlier in the week, Saleh remarked about the Jaguars having a ‘legal sign-stealing system’.
‘Whatever nugget they can find, they catch it. There’s nothing illegal about it,’ Saleh said in a press conference.

When asked by reporters after the game about the exchange, Coen characterized it as, ‘Not a big deal. We’ll keep that between us.’
His counterpart, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, commented, ‘I didn’t see what happened so I’m not sure, but he [Coen] shouldn’t be so sensitive.’
Jacksonville came out on top 26-21 on the road to extend their record to 3-1.
While running back Travis Etienne and quarterback Trevor Lawrence scored early in the contest, the game-winning touchdown came from Parker Washington’s 87-yard punt return.
The Jaguars next host the Kansas City Chiefs. San Francisco, in turn, will hit the road to take on the division-rival Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football.
