A brawl broke out between the San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears in the fourth quarter of their game on Sunday when 49ers safety Marcell Harris hit Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky after Trubisky slid at the end of a run.
The late hit sparked a fight between the two sides, with several Bears players stepping up to Harris and numerous 49ers players coming to Harris' defense.
One of those Niners players was cornerback Richard Sherman, who got into it with Chicago wide reciever Josh Bellamy.
Sherman, Bellamy and Bears wideout Anthony Miller were all ejected. Afterward, Sherman had a lot to say:
“I'm a grown man; you don't grab, pull on me—I don't put my hands on you, you don't put your hands on me,” Richard Sherman said, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. “You put your hands on me, you're gonna feel me.”
Sherman also defended Harris, saying that he tried to avoid the hit and added that the Bears shouldn't have Trubisky running the football if they don't want him getting hit:
“At the end of the day, if you don't want your quarterback getting touched, don't run the quarterback, you know?” said Richard Sherman, via Wagoner. “They're trying to protect them as much as they can, but you wanna protect them the most? Don't run.”
The Bears ended up winning the game by a score of 14-9 to improve to 11-4 on the season. The 49ers fell to 4-11 with the loss.
Chicago will end its regular season on the road against the Minnesota Vikings next week, while San Francisco will take on the Los Angeles Rams in Tinseltown.
