The first half of "Thursday Night Football" between the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers ended in chippy fashion. The Niners should probably be grateful it didn't get worse.
As the Niners kneeled out the second quarter with 13 seconds left, their All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams got into a shoving match with Giants defensive tackle A'Shawn Robinson. The two players were each issued offsetting penalties for unnecessary roughness, with one more Brock Purdy kneel ending the half.
Further replay, however, showed that Williams threw a punch into Robinson's facemask. Such strikes are usually good for an automatic ejection, but the officials either missed the blow or decided it didn't warrant kicking out one of the NFL's top offensive linemen.
While Williams avoided an ejection, odds are pretty good he'll be seeing a fine from the NFL sometime in the next week.
This kind of stuff isn't exactly new from Williams. He was ejected and fined for throwing Philadelphia Eagles safety K'Von Wallace to the turf during last season's NFC championship game. You might also remember him clocking Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, who was on hand Thursday as part of the Prime Video booth, after a playoff game in 2013, leading to another fine.
With Williams remaining in the game, the Niners finished out a 30-12 win to move to 3-0, outgaining the Giants 441-150 and averaging 5.7 yards per rush. Williams is a 10-time Pro Bowler and is coming off back-to-back first-team All-Pro seasons for the Niners.

Daniel Weinman won the World Series of Poker's main event world championship on Monday in Las Vegas, earning $12.1 million along the way. Playing in the tournament for a 16th year, Weinman was tops in a deep pool of 10,043 players vying for $93.39 million. His victory came after just 164 hands at the final table. "I was honestly on the fence about even coming back and playing this tournament," the 35-year-old Atlanta native told reporters afterward. Weinman's final table featured Jan-Peter Jachtmann, who landed in fourth place and took home $3 million, as well as Toby Lewis, who finished seventh and secured $1.42 million. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the main event's entry pool far outpaced the previous record of 8,773 set in 2006. "I've always kind of felt that poker was kind of going in a dying direction, but to see the numbers at the World Series this year has been incredible," Weinman said. "And to win this main event, it doesn't feel real. I mean, [there's] so much luck in a poker tournament. I thought I played very well." Steven Jones finished second, securing $6.5 million. And Adam Walton settled for third and a $4 million prize.
