NFL says Seahawks' Bobby Wagner should have been penalized for leveraging

The NFL acknowledged Friday that Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner committed a foul Monday night during a key field goal block in the fourth quarter of the Seahawks' 21-7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings.

Wagner violated the rule prohibiting players from using teammates as leverage to jump over the line of scrimmage. Replays showed Wagner putting his hands on the players positioned on both sides of him as he jumped.
