Kendrick, who is on injured reserve, was fined $5,656 for unsportsmanlike conduct during the incident, and Rams safety Kamren Kinchens was fined $5,653 for taunting.
The upset came at the end of a frustrating 27-24 loss to San Francisco that squandered a 14-point first-quarter lead to a depleted Los Angeles team at SoFi Stadium. As the game clock expired in the fourth quarter, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy threw a desperation throw on the final play of the game and, after a series of lateral moves, the ball ended up in Aiyuk’s hands before he was tackled to the ground at the Rams. sideline.
Unrelated to the fight late in the game, two Los Angeles linebackers were also fined for actions in last Sunday’s game – Christian Rozeboom ordered to pay $7,778 for unnecessary roughness (face mask) and Byron Young was fined $7,014 for a low hit on Purdy.
No 49ers players received any penalties for the Week 3 game. And now San Francisco will look to bounce back in Week 4 against the New England Patriots on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.
