After he made his first of two 52-yard field goals at CenturyLink Field on Friday night, Seattle kicker Blair Walsh turned toward the Minnesota sidelines and appeared to stare down and pointed at Minnesota head coach Mike Zimmer.

At least, that’s what was captured by the TV cameras in the Seahawks’ 20-13 preseason win

But no, said Walsh, who was cut by the Vikings last fall after five seasons in Minnesota, that’s not what happened at all.

“It wasn’t directly at (Zimmer),” Walsh said. “And it was in jest because they were taunting me. I hoped their taunts were in jest, but I didn’t know their intent and I didn’t appreciate getting really yelled at by guys who I’d been friends with for five years.
