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.

Personally I wouldn’t taunt Mr. Jefferson.
In the post WWII era of pro football the visiting team at the end of the game raced like Hell for the exit and their dressing room. They could expect to be met by a shower of drinks.
Aaaaaand THAT’S why decent Americans want the NFL to ditch its Social Justice posturing: Worthless thugs who rape, steal, kill and father many children out of wedlock don’t have the moral-high ground and shouldn’t be preaching anything to anybody.
How much longer before the first on the field NFL shooting by one of the thugs? Bueller ?
The BLM/NFL thugs are still ROLLING DOWN HILL.
Sick of all the racist bullshit on this forum.
What does race have to do with this are you idiots seriously acting like white athletes would never do such a thing?
Blah, blah, blah....
These protests ARE about black on white racism, idiot.
The THUGS are lecturing the white people THEY HATE about injustices, all the while acting like IDIOTS.
Pick a fight with someone else, moron, you won’t win this one.
Besides, if you were better at reading you would see no mention of skin color.
I hate the white thugs who are hypocritically preaching as well, so STFU.
And this is the last time I’ll respond to you idiot (hey, you started the name calling): The point is not about the VIOLENCE, the point is about the RACIST THUGS who hate white people assuming a stance of moral authority and PREACHING to us, all the while DEPENDING on the white man’s money.
Use a little critical thinking next time and lay off the nam e calling and virtue signalling.
There were people in the stands?
Haha..Yep, a friend of mine went to the Bears/Bengals game and paid a whopping $10 per ticket for pretty good seats.
He said stadium was half empty, but he could be wrong cuz’ he was half-lit!

FYI, Jefferson is a “kneeler” during the National Anthem.
you suck if you believe that
I stand corrected. Bennett does cadillac commercials.
But his rolling up on the legs of a player on purpose, which could have been a career ending injuries last night, is unforgivable. I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t get fined for it. The flag was thrown because he did it on purpose as it was late and aimed. The committee should suspend him for that one. They have enough problems in the league with injuries without players trying to create them intentionally.

Nice.

Give Goodell another $50,000,000 and an airplane for his family’s use.
