And you thought Richard Sherman's bizarre outburst during a post game interview was classless (or him going off on Crabtree in the end zone ... or anything that Sherman does), Seattle Seahawks fans may have topped that.
David Fucillo of
Niners Nation mentioned on Facebook that Seahawks fans were apparently throwing food at San Francisco 49ers star linebacker, and perhaps the best defensive player in the NFL this season, NaVorro Bowman while he was being carted off with what appears to be a torn ACL.
The injury occurred late in the game. What is amazing about the play is that Bowman held on to a fumble recovery despite the injury. Although, the refs didn't rule it a turnover and instead left the ball with Seattle. The 49ers would recover another fumble on the next play.
NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal described the injury like this:
Bowman's leg bent backward unnaturally, a horrific injury that was replayed too many times.

Elite talent: 49ers QB Brock Purdy demonstrates ability to 'make every throw'
The skeptics are running out of excuses. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy continues to deliver MVP-like performances, as shown once again in Sunday's 28-16 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He completed 19 of 27 passing attempts (70.4 percent), achieving a career-high 368 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception, resulting in a 122.1 pass rating.
Sunday marked Purdy's seventh consecutive game with a completion percentage of 70 or higher. Only three other quarterbacks—Joe Montana (8), Drew Brees (7), and Sam Bradford (7)—have accomplished that feat.
Speaking to reporters after the game, the always-humble Purdy deflected attention away from himself,
49ers' Kyle Shanahan: "It's hard to be on the field with us if you don't block"
The San Francisco 49ers passing game isn't only full of weapons, it's full of unselfish weapons. Greg Papa sat down with 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan on the latest edition of NBC Sports Bay Area's "49ers Game Plan" on Friday and discussed some of his offensive stars, and the unselfishness of these players who are willing to block for each other.
Papa noted that blocking is part of tight end George Kittle's game, but he also pointed out that Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, and Christian McCaffrey all block well. Shanahan confirmed that his players take a lot of pride in blocking for one another and don't want to let each other down. Shanahan said, "And also if they do, they know we're all going to watch it together on Friday, which is when we do it and people don't like that. But
49ers in driver's seat for home-field advantage after Cowboys beat Eagles
The past eight days have not been kind to the Philadelphia Eagles. The San Francisco 49ers entered Lincoln Financial Field a week ago and dismantled the home team 42-19. On Sunday night, the Eagles visited AT&T Stadium and suffered a 33-13 loss against their division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.
This development was good news for the 49ers. While all three teams now stand at 10-3, San Francisco holds the head-to-head tiebreaker, having defeated both the Cowboys and Eagles this season.

49ers vs. Seahawks: Brock Purdy gears up for familiar foe, acknowledges room for growth
Brock Purdy is gearing up to lead his San Francisco 49ers against the Seattle Seahawks for the second time in three games. This time, the Niners will play host, with Sunday's NFC West clash taking place at Levi's Stadium.
Purdy has faced Seattle more than any other opponent in his NFL career, creating a familiarity with the division rival. Despite never losing to the Seahawks, the second-year quarterback emphasizes that he won't take any opponent for granted.
"They got good players, some really good dudes that have a lot of experience and stuff, obviously with [LB] Bobby Wagner and then [DB Quandre] Diggs in the secondary, some boys that are playing corner that have got some experience now under their belts," Purdy told reporters after Thursday's
