Trent Williams, Dre Greenlaw Fined After 49ers vs. Eagles Fight in NFC Championship

Rob GoldbergFeb 4, 2023

San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams was fined $12,731 after being ejected in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Linebacker Dre Greenlaw also earned a $10,430 fine from the game, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Williams was caught throwing down Eagles safety K'Von Wallace after a fourth-quarter play with his team trailing 31-7. Both Williams and Wallace received 15-yard penalties for unnecessary roughness, which offset, and both were ejected with just over four minutes remaining.

Wallace did not receive a fine despite his ejection.

The initial incident led to a scuffle between the teams, but the two sides were eventually separated as the Eagles closed out the win.

It was the first disqualification for Williams in 12 NFL seasons, and he had only one personal foul called against him since 2016—a face mask in Week 16 last year. The 34-year-old had never been fined for on-field activity during a career that features 10 Pro Bowl selections and back-to-back first-team All-Pro honors with the 49ers.

Greenlaw also picked up a penalty for unnecessary roughness in the fourth quarter against the Eagles, resulting in a first down to extend a drive that led to a Philadelphia field goal. It was the second personal foul of the game against the linebacker, who was also called for a face mask in the second quarter.

The 25-year-old has now been fined three times this season, including after the previous week's playoff victory against the Dallas Cowboys.

Penalties were a major storyline of the latest loss to the Eagles, with the 49ers flagged 11 times in the loss for 81 total yards. Only six penalties were called against San Francisco in its first two playoff games combined.
