Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett has pledged to remain seated for the national anthem before every game this year, and a number of his teammates have joined him.
However, on Thursday night, as the anthem was played at University of Phoenix Stadium before kickoff against the Cardinals, the Seahawks all stood for the anthem — including Bennett.
Bennett, several of his defensive linemates, Oday Aboushi, Justin Britt and running back Thomas Rawls all stood in a row with their arms linked during the anthem.
This is likely because the Seahawks and Cardinals are honoring veterans and active military with this Salute to Service game.
