Greenlaw wore his helmet, while Jones did not. The incident followed Greenlaw hitting Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold after he ran out of bounds, prompting members of Seattle's sideline to swarm the 49ers linebacker.
Tom Brady, a member of the FOX broadcast team calling the game, didn't see a big issue with Greenlaw's hit on Darnold. However, he criticized the decision to headbutt the defenseless Jones.
The 49ers led the Seahawks 14-10 at the time. Greenlaw was escorted to the locker room, leaving Fred Warner, rookie Jaden Dugger, and Luke Gifford on the field as the linebackers.
