Despite no flag, Lenoir could still face league discipline. The NFL’s Football Operations department reviews every play and can refer potential violations for further review, with fines possible under unsportsmanlike conduct, fighting, or other player-safety categories. 🔍💸
This kind post-play moment is precisely the type the league has historically targeted, especially in a postseason game with a national audience, even if officials missed it on the field. 🕵️♀️🎯
Seattle wasn’t alone in the uglier moments: reports also highlighted 49ers lineman Trent Williams grabbing Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV by the facemask after a verbal exchange, another unflagged sequence contributing to the rivalry’s uglier vibe. 😬🏈
For Seahawks fans, any potential discipline would become a follow-up storyline; if the league acts, it provides a clear final decision, and if not, it adds fuel to the ongoing SF-Seahawks rivalry. Seattle’s blowout win was the message: the Seahawks moved on while both teams saw their quarterbacks benched late. 🔥🏆
