Fans believe Josh Norman committed a dirty play against Vikings WR Adam Thielen on Sunday and want the NFL to suspend the Niners cornerback.
During the 49ers-Vikings game, Norman was seen punching Thielen in the back/spine area while both teams scrambled to recover a fumble.
The @NFL needs to review this play & send a nice note to #49ers Josh Norman for this gorilla punch to the back of #Vikings Adam Thielen.
Hitting someone in the spine could be a serious injury.
How does the ref miss this? If Thielen retaliates he’d of got the flag for sure. pic.twitter.com/LgAFYpwATV— Ron Johnson (@3RonJohnson) November 29, 2021

Vikings fans immediately called for Norman to be suspended over the cheap shot.
Just one of many ignored calls. Josh Norman shoulda been ejected. Dirty doesn’t even describe it. https://t.co/w6v0yzUR5D
