The San Francisco 49ers dominated in Week 1, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-7 with a strong performance on both sides of the ball, coming out the game injury-free.
However, the team didn't come out of the game fine-free, unfortunately, as cornerback Deommodore Lenoir was fined $5,618 for an unnecessary roughness penalty for his hit out of bounds against Steelers running back Najee Harris in the first half of Week 1, according to NBC Sports's Matt Maiocco.
#49ers CB Deommodore Lenoir was fined $5,618 for unnecessary roughness for his hit out of bounds against Steelers RB Najee Harris late in the first half of Week 1.
The play came at 1:24 remaining in the second quarter when Harris broke free for a 24-yard gain, with the Steelers earning 15 extra yards due to Lenoir's penalty, setting them up at the San Francisco 47-yard line.
Lenoir's penalty was a critical one in Week 1, as it provided the Steelers with a new set of downs as they operated a two-minute drill late in the first half, leading to their lone score of the game.
As a whole, the 49ers were nowhere near penalty-free on Sunday, committing 11 flags for 85 lost yards against the Steelers, although it ultimately didn't matter, as San Francisco cruised to victory on the day.
The cornerback, however, had a solid game, racking up 10 tackles while rotating between the nickel and outside corner spot.

The San Francisco 49ers are looking to bolster their safety depth following injuries to Talanoa Hufanga and George Odum. Hufanga's season came to an end in Week 11 after the starter suffered a torn ACL, leading to rookie Ji'Ayir Brown taking his place in the lineup.
Odum sustained a torn biceps in last week's victory over the Seattle Seahawks. While his return for the playoffs is possible, the injuries prompted the 49ers to explore additional options.
According to NFL Network and confirmed by NBC Sports Bay Area, the team plans to sign veteran Erik Harris to the practice squad.
Harris, undrafted in 2012, spent three

The eagerly anticipated Week 13 NFC Championship Game rematch between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles has been marked on many calendars since the schedule was released in May. Many feel robbed of what could have been an epic showdown between two powerhouses in January. Instead, the 49ers hobbled through four quarters of football after quarterback Brock Purdy suffered an early injury.
The stage is set for a compelling matchup. With the NFL's best record of 10-1, the Eagles have won five consecutive games and are coming off an exhilarating overtime win over the Buffalo Bills. On the other side, the 49ers have rebounded impressively from a three-game skid, securing three consecutive victories, including a Thanksgiving win over the division-rival Seattle
