The San Francisco 49ers' 26-8 Week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns certainly wasn't without drama or controversy, despite the Niners pulling off their first win in that city since 1984.
Wide receiver Jauan Jennings played a big role in the game, hauling in four passes for 39 yards and a touchdown.
And apparently getting into it with several Cleveland defenders, too.
It seemed a scrap took place when former San Francisco defensive tackle Maliek Collins, now with the Browns, suffered a knee injury that required him to be carted off the field. According to Browns defensive tackle Shelby Harris, Jennings delivered some inappropriate remarks to which Harris and others took serious exception.
Harris didn't hold back on Jennings when discussing the matter with reporters postgame:
"He’s a hoe, and I want that known. I see why he got punched in the nuts. He says some things that you should not say to another man. Ever. But I don’t respect that because you say that then run behind your O-line. That’s some real soft sh-t, and I want that known. I see exactly why they punched you in the nuts. I’m surprised nobody has punched you in the jaw yet."
When Maliek Collins went down with injury, there were words exchanged between 49ers WR Jauan Jennings and some guys on the #Browns defense.

Apparently Jennings took things to personal level. The Browns didn't appreciate it by any means as Shelby Harris made clear after the game. pic.twitter.com/NWL27XUypU
Harris was referring to the previous week's incident involving Jennings when Carolina Panthers safety Tre'von Moehrig punched the 49ers wide receiver below the belt after that game's final whistle.
Apparently, Harris wished for additional physicality.
What exactly did Jauan Jennings say?
Harris didn't openly declare what Jennings said during the time Collins was being aided off the field. Unless one of the players or coaches elaborates further, which is doubtful, it might never be known what exactly crossed the line.
That said, and by all accounts, Harris is a good individual who doesn't stir up controversy on his own. Meanwhile, as Niners fans know well, Jennings has no issue getting under the skin of opposing players. Moehrig was just a recent example, but there have been plenty of others, too. And San Francisco has often benefited from it.
So, there's a decent chance Jennings did say something inappropriate that could have easily crossed the line.
Yet that sort of thing happens in a live-action football game all the time, and given Jennings' own nature, it's probably not too surprising.
