The hit happened in the first half of the Charges game against the Niners in week 10. Herbert ran downfield with the ball with just seconds left on the clock in the second quarter. As the Niners’ defense tackled the QB, he fell down and hit his head on Greenlaw’s helmet. The Chargers got a 15-yard advantage after the play and the officials ejected the linebacker from the game. Herbert returned after a concussion check at halftime to complete the game. But he could not lead his team to victory as the Niners overcame them with a 22-16 win.

Dre Greenlaw’s defense
Greenlaw defended himself after the game, saying that he did not mean to hurt anybody.
“I’m just trying to go in with my shoulder to try and get a hit and just somehow, it happened so fast, it just came closer than what I expected. It was just like a bang-bang play. I definitely did not mean to get ejected or hurt anybody,” Greenlaw said a day after the game.
