Lenoir joined the fourth-quarter fracas at Levi’s Stadium when Metcalf went after Warner. Metcalf made a hard tackle of Warner after he already lateralled the ball to teammate Dre Greenlaw following an interception. Warner gave Metcalf a shove in the back, and Metcalf grabbed Warner.
Both Lenoir and Metcalf were ejected from the game.

“You’ve got to have an edge in this league to kind of get you over the top, and Demo’s found a good way of doing that because he's playing at a higher level each and every year,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said of Lenoir.
“But that's the line you can't cross. If you get a penalty, you're wrong. If you get ejected, you're twice as wrong.”
Two other Seahawks players were fined from the Week 14 activity.
Seattle’s DeeJay Dallas was fined $6,297 for an unnecessary roughness penalty on 49ers punter Mitch Wishnowsky. And receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was fined $11,473 for unnecessary roughness.
