The NFL announced Tuesday that it suspended Carolina Panthers defensive back Tre'Von Moehrig for one game for striking San Francisco 49ers' Jauan Jennings in the groin area.
Fans watching Monday Night Football collectively recoiled as they saw Carolina Panthers safety Tre’Von Moehrig direct a hit at San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings’ groin. And while Jennings,
Moehrig punched Jennings in the groin after a play, constituting a clear violation of Rule 12, Section 3, Article 1, which the NFL cited as applying to "any act which is contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship," including "throwing a punch, or a forearm, or kicking at an opponent."
