The Seahawks had several chances late in Sunday's game to beat the Jaguars in Jacksonville but their fate was sealed after Russell Wilson failed to convert on fourth down with just over two minutes to go. And that's when things got interesting.
With Seattle out of timeouts and 54 seconds remaining, Jacksonville lined up in the victory formation to seal their 30-24 lead. On the play, defensive lineman Michael Bennett was rightly penalized for unnecessary roughness and teammate Sheldon Richardson was ejected for starting a brawl. Not to be outdone, a snap later, defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson was ejected for unnecessary roughness -- and for good measure, coach Pete Carroll was hit with an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty after, ironically enough, coming onto the field to implore his players to quit getting stupid penalties.
The two teams lined up for one more kneel down, and as Jefferson made his way to the locker room he was almost nailed by what appeared to be a drink thrown from the stands. At this point, Jefferson made a sharp left to confront the fan(s) in question. yelling towards the front row while being restrained by Seahawks officials. Already hot, Jefferson lost his mind after he was almost hit in the head by another flying object (it also appeared to be a drink), and tried to climb into the stands.

Thankfully, Jefferson never made it and was eventually ushered into the locker room.
Needless to say, the league will be looking into this and in addition to heavy fines, there could be suspensions in the Seahawks' future.
Civility is going away, the NFL leads the movement.
SOBs.
Hilarious. It sounds like seeing a Pit Bull dog ready to tear the fender off of a car in order to reach a cat hiding underneath it.
That garbage missile whizzing by his face happened at just the wrong time. It was like pulling a pin on a grenade and tossing it forward.
Who is worse - the fan who throws a drink on a player or the player who behaves like a thug?
>The person(s) who threw the drinks should be arrested.
Why? Throwing trash is a commonly acceptable form of showing disrespect to a player who just got ejected from the game.

....should get a game suspension.
Except get ejected.
The NFL has gone to ‘rent-a-fan’...
“Fox Sports Solicits LA Rams “Fans” for ‘NFL On Fox’ Pre-Game Hoopla Sunday”
NFL and ESPN are leftist anti-American scum.
Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.
Thugs like to watch other thugs.
I wonder want S.A.F.E. means....and why the need for so many supervisors.
Rather a shame that there was anyone in the stands for him to fight.
It was probably a $3 fan who was also given a free hot dog and a nasty tasting fountain drink. I can’t believe all the years I wasted watching this crap.
Maybe even more than one game.
“And I find it disingenuous for Pete Carroll to say anything as the reason he is in the NFL is because he cheated and got caught by the NCAA while coaching at USC,”
That’s complete bullshit.
They still at it? I stopped watching some years ago when the referees took over the game and it became a bore.
I knew I shouldn’t have had that 4th gin and tonic.
