The Seattle Seahawks lost in a close one to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, falling to 8-5 on the season. Tensions flared in the end when both teams got into a scuffle while the Jags were kneeling out the clock.
Seahawks' Sheldon Richardson bulldozed into a Jags OL during the kneel down, while Michael Bennett rolled into the legs of another lineman.
Seahawks defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson was ejected from the game. As he was leaving, he had some stuff thrown at him by some rowdy fans, such as drinks.
This caused Jefferson to argue and yell at the fans, and even at one point trying to jump into the stands and fight them:
We almost got the NFL version of Malice in the Palace here 😵 #Seahawks #Jaguars pic.twitter.com/VHUzTMb8w5— FootBasket.com (@FootBasketcom) December 11, 2017
We were pretty close to having an NFL version of Malice at the Palace happening, but luckily that did not happen. It could have ended up being a lot uglier.
Let's just say players and coaches from both sides weren't budging after the game:
