Seattle Seahawks players won't face suspensions for what happened at the end of their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday.
In the final seconds of the 30-24 loss, several Seahawks and Jaguars players got into fights. It happened as Seahawks players went full speed for the ball while the Jaguars were taking a knee to run out the clock.
Defensive tackle Michael Bennett dived at center Brandon Linder's knees, setting off a near-melee. Sheldon Richardson was ejected for throwing a punch, and Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette went after Bennett.
More pushing and shoving ensued after the next kneel-down, and defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson was tossed.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll also got flagged for coming onto the field. Carroll walked into Seattle's huddle to settle down his players.
As Jefferson was escorted off the field with his helmet off, he pushed aside security guards and started jawing with the spectators. Just when it looked like Jefferson was about to walk away for good, drinks came flying from the stands including one that hit him in the head. That prompted Jefferson to rush toward the stands and start trying to climb up. He had to be restrained, pulled back by his shoulder pads, and escorted to the locker room.
The Jaguars issued a statement Monday they were reviewing video and were conducting interviews with spectators and security staff in the area to identify those involved. The Jaguars said those involved may lose the right to purchase future tickets or have their season tickets revoked.
