Seattle-Tennessee – More distracted: Seahawks. Cover: Tennessee
The Seahawks showed perhaps the most emotion of any team in the NFL, releasing a statement they would not participate in the national anthem as a stand for injustice that “has plagued people of color in this country.” They stayed in the locker room during the anthem. Richard Sherman made social media posts prior to the game on the weekend against President Trump’s comments and said the team met for 3.5 hours on Saturday to discuss the issue. Sherman received three flags in the first quarter on one play and he chased an official up and down the sideline with his helmet off, screaming at him. He later received a penalty on a dangerous late hit on Marcus Mariota that caused a pushing-and-shoving scrum. The Titans were also one of three teams who stayed in the locker room for the anthem, releasing a short statement saying “we want to be unified in our actions.”
