Jim Harbaugh and Jim Schwartz’s postgame handshake and the skirmish that followed overshadowed an important 49ers win at Detroit in Week 6 of the 2011 season. The 4-1 49ers knocked off the 5-0 Lions to notch their fourth win in a row and take a commanding lead a struggling NFC West.
Chris Biderman of the Sacramento Bee and Kyle Madson dove back into that now-infamous game in the latest episode of Candlestick Chronicles. The handshake followed a sloppy contest full of penalties, turnovers, and sputtering offenses. It wasn’t pretty, but San Francisco got a big win.
