Filed under: 49ers, Rams, NFL VideoDuring today’s Rams-49ers game, St. Louis running back Kenneth Darby was tackled by Garth DeFelice:
No, DeFelice doesn’t play for the 49ers, he was the umpire in the game. But with Darby coming at him, DeFelice delivered a forearm shiver, reminiscent of the hit that umpire Wilbur Hackett Jr., put on South Carolina quarterback Stephen Garcia in October.
The official play-by-play at NFL.com says 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis made the tackle. That, however, is not what happened.
