Seahawks' Quinton Jefferson tries to jump in stands and fight Jaguars fans
CBS Sports ^ | December 10, 2017 | Ryan Wilson

Posted on 12/10/2017 7:11:06 PM PST by EdnaMode

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.

I would be pretty darned mad if someone threw a drink at me and I didn’t deserve it. OTOH, at that salary level, get me a pair of safety glasses and get in line to throw all the cold drinks in paper cups you want for two hours every Sunday during the fall and winter.

Jefferson is an anti-American kneeler and deserves whatever happens to him.

Some NFL tickets today we’re going for $3, a third as much as a hot dog.

Nothing to see here, just the NFL being the NFL.

Watching the NFL is an exercise in watching dysfunctional blacks who never had real fathers to teach them civilized behavior. The last few black generations have been completely lost due to welfare are no accountability. Oh, and I guess this also applies to the NBA.

I wish he had gotten into the stand and I wish I'd been there to greet him coming over the railing. I'm sure he'd win the fight but he'd be hurt too and I'd be laughing while collecting my teeth and calling my lawyer.

This needs to to be highlighted they players hate the fans- the racist players hate the American fans. Its time for the NFL to go they've become a wing of the Democrat Party

Bennett is a consistent kneeler, but don’t know about Jefferson.

Ravens used to be the dirtiest team, with Ray Lewis leading the way. However, I think the SeaThugs have taken on that role.

They have to be better than the hecklers and contain themselves. Otherwise just forget the ball and put a wrestling ring in the middle of the stadium, invite audience participation. Fun for all!

#46. What’s the NFL? Don’t watch sports on tv anymore. I enjoy watching my mushrooms grow.
