With one third-quarter headbutt toward Seahawks receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Deommodore Lenoir captured all of the frustrations that he — and the 49ers — were feeling during their divisional round loss Saturday. Lenoir, a San Francisco cornerback, went up to Smith-Njigba following a play and thrust his helmet toward the wideout’s head, though a penalty wasn’t called after the sequence during Seattle’s eventual 41-6 victory to advance to the NFC Championship game. It could still lead to a fine for Lenoir — in his fifth season with the 49ers after being a fifth-round pick in 2021 — despite not drawing a flag in real time after making contact with Smith-Njigba, who finished with only three catches for 19 yards and a touchdown.
