Nick Wright alongside Chris Broussard, Eric Mangini and Kevin Wildes reveal the latest edition of Nick’s NFL Tiers, ranking the 32 teams in the NFL from worst to best. Notable movement this week include the San Francisco 49ers whom sit atop the list, followed by the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins.
Philadelphia Eagles security guard Dom DiSandro broke NFL rules this past weekend when he made contact with San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw. The contact came when a scuffle broke out after Greenlaw was penalized for committing a personal foul on the Eagles’ sideline. Both DiSandro and Greenlaw were ejected from the game following the incident.
The Playing Rules of the National Football League, and our Game Operations Policies, clearly prohibit non-player personnel — coaches, trainers, equipment staff, security officers or others — from making physical contact with, taunting, or directing abusive or insulting language toward opposing players, game officials, or others involved in a game,” via NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
“Please ensure that all members of your game-day staff understand that their role does not extend to being involved with game day altercations and that they must refrain from such involvement.”
Sunday’s incident is still under review by the NFL, in regards to if DiSandro will face additional consequences for his contact with Greenlaw. The good news for the 49ers is the ejection of Greenlaw did not stop them from winning. They went on to get a 42-19 win over the Eagles, even with one of their best tacklers out of the game.
