The San Francisco player shoved Jonathan Owens hard which resulted in him taking a fall. While Owens simply got up and walked away, the referee present on the ground charged Williams with a personal foul. Depending on who one asks, both Owens and Williams can be blamed. However, Owens doesn’t seem to have many supporters in this matter.
Owing to his record and his recent episode with Justin Fields, Jonathan Owens has been charged as highly guilty by fans. Many even interpret his intervention with Williams as the second step in his foul plan to give his team an advantage. Many even called for Owens to be taken off the field for the rest of the game.
