This is just horrible, stop fighting at games. NFL may have to enforce stricter rules and regulations at stadiums to prevent this.https://t.co/4AlTvALHE8 pic.twitter.com/Q2Gdy49VyY

In a video that captured the violent altercation, three 49ers fans were seen engaged in a heated argument. The dispute escalated when a male fan began fighting with a woman sporting black pants and a red Niners top, while he himself wore a black 49ers jacket. Shortly thereafter, another woman, donning a white No. 97 jersey, joined the fray, accompanied by yet another man.
While the men engaged in a brief verbal exchange, the two women began throwing punches at each other. In the midst of the chaos, a fifth individual, dressed in a red No. 25 Richard Sherman 49ers jersey, intervened and forcibly moved the woman in the red shirt and black trousers to his right. Simultaneously, the woman in the red shirt grabbed the woman in the white jersey by the head. The person wearing the Sherman jersey, along with another individual, resorted to kicking the man in the black jacket when he attempted to rejoin the melee.

The cause of the altercation remains vague, and it’s uncertain whether anyone involved was subsequently arrested.
On the field, New York’s offense struggled against San Francisco’s formidable defense, ultimately leading to a 30-12 victory for the 49ers.
