49ers' Saleh Accuses Jaguars' Coen of Sign-Stealing After Heated Altercation

San Francisco 49ers' defensive coordinator Robert Saleh has accused Jacksonville Jaguars' head coach Liam Coen of 'sign-stealing', following a heated argument between the two after the Jaguars' victory over the 49ers, 26-21.

The Jaguars' win was their first against the 49ers since 2011. The game ended with a tense exchange between Saleh and Coen, which required intervention to separate them. The altercation stemmed from Saleh's allegations that the Jaguars were using a sign-stealing system. This is not the first time such accusations have surfaced in the NFL; Herm Edwards, a former coach and current analyst, is known for his stern stance on such practices, famously stating, 'You play to win the game!'

Following the incident, 49ers' head coach Kyle Shanahan weighed in, naming Detroit Lions' head coach Dan Campbell as a potential victor if a fight were to break out between Campbell and Saleh.

The Jaguars' win over the 49ers has been overshadowed by the heated argument between Saleh and Coen. The NFL is now investigating Saleh's sign-stealing claims, which could have significant implications for the Jaguars' season. Meanwhile, Shanahan's comments about Campbell have added fuel to the fire, with fans eagerly awaiting the outcome of the investigation and any potential fallout.
