The NFL suspended Panthers safety Tre’von Moehrig for one game without pay following unsportsmanlike conduct that occurred Monday night in Carolina’s 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
In the fourth quarter, Moehrig punched 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings in the groin area at the end of a play. At the conclusion of the game, Jennings retaliated by hitting Moehrig in the face.

More on Panthers S Tre’von Moehrig & 49ers WR Jauan Jennings
NFL Network reported that the NFL will review the tape to determine whether Jennings should be fined, but he won’t face a suspension.
“I was just responding to some childish behavior,” Jennings told reporters Monday night.
Moehrig has the right to appeal the suspension.
As it stands now, he will be eligible to return to the roster next Monday after sitting out Carolina’s game against the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 30.

Christian McCaffrey ran for 89 yards and a touchdown, and the San Francisco 49ers overcame a horrible first-half stretch from quarterback Brock Purdy to beat the Carolina Panthers 20-9 on Monday night in Santa Clara, Calif.
The 49ers (8-4) did the job on defense to register back-to-back wins for the first time since September.
The Panthers (6-6) dropped into second place in the NFC South, a half-game behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, after managing just 230 yards of total offense.
McCaffrey had 24 carries and caught seven passes for 53 yards against his former team. Purdy completed 23 of 32 passes for 193 yards and a touchdown, and he was intercepted three times.
Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, who threw for a franchise-record 448 yards a week earlier at Atlanta, finished 18-for-29 for 169 yards. He had one TD pass and threw two interceptions.
Carolina defensive back Jaycee Horn picked off two passes, but he didn’t play in the second half after sustaining a head injury.
McCaffrey ran 12 yards for a touchdown on San Francisco’s first possession of the second half. The Panthers scored their one touchdown with 49 seconds left in the third quarter on Young’s 29-yard pass to Tetairoa McMillan.
