Kyle Shanahan gives game ball from win over Redskins to father Mike

Kyle Shanahan 49ers

The Shanahan family definitely has some lingering hard feelings against the Washington Redskins organization, if their actions after Sunday’s win are any indication.

In an ugly, rain-soaked game, the San Francisco 49ers managed to beat the Redskins 9-0 on Sunday. After that win, coach Kyle Shanahan shared the game ball with his father, Mike, who was fired by Washington in 2013.

Dan Snyder is not exactly a popular guy, and both Shanahans may well feel they got a raw deal in Washington. Many would disagree — a lot of fans blame Mike Shanahan for the fact that Robert Griffin III was hit by injuries and never the same — but they would feel otherwise.

Want another indication that the Shanahans are a bit chilly toward the Redskins franchise? All you have to do is check out what Kyle said about working for them and you’ll get the idea.
