On Tuesday we learned that the NFL was unlikely to suspend any of the Seattle Seahawks players for the situation at the end of the Jacksonville Jaguars beating the Seahawks. The Seahawks were flagged multiple times for personal fouls, including having two players ejected during the kneel down, and shockingly none of the players ended up suspended.
One player that seemed like an obvious suspension was Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett, who after swiping at the snap during the kneel down dove into the back of Jaguars center Brandon Linder’s knee. It’s very clear from the video this had nothing to do with trying to get the football, like the initial roll at Linder’s knee, but the NFL apparently thinks differently.
