BREAKING: Pair of Seattle Seahawks Defenders Receive Massive Fines for Play During Their Week 13 Loss Against the Dallas Cowboys

A pair of Seattle Seahawks defenders will need to open their pocketbooks this weekend after the NFL announced numerous fines on Saturday. Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the league and Roger Goodell have slapped Seattle Seahawks safeties Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams $10,927 each for unsportsmanlike conduct during their team’s Week 13 loss against the Dallas Cowboys. 

Neither defender had received a fine this season before Saturday. However, teammate DK Metcalf is breathing a sigh of relief, receiving no such fine after getting hit with four monetary penalties this season.

Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams will each have to pay north of $10,000 for their actions midway through the third quarter in Week 13. Diggs’ fine is more play-based, while Adams’ comes for what he did after the whistle. Diggs led helmet first at Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson, making helmet-to-helmet contact with the offensive playmaker. 

Adams added fuel to the fire, jawing at Ferguson, resulting in the two teams briefly coming together to de-escalate the situation. Ferguson will also receive a fine for his role after the play.

The Seattle Seahawks have had their fair share of issues on defense this season, allowing 24.2 points per game, the 25th-worst mark in the NFL. They cough up 4.2 yards per rush attempt while opposing passers have thrown 17 touchdowns against eight picks in 12 games. Quandre Diggs has started every game, registering 67 tackles and one interception. Meanwhile, Jamal Adams has played in eight games. The LSU product has 44 tackles but only two passes defended and no interceptions.
