Buccaneers Center Joe Hawley Says Seahawks Defender Spit in His Face During Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive lineman Joe Hawley said Thursday night a member of the Seattle Seahawks defense spit in his face during last Sunday's game.

Hawley made the allegation during an appearance with Tom Krasniqi on 620 WDAE. On Friday, JoeBucsFan.com passed along the center's comments about the situation:

They were hitting me late and then one guy got up, and when I came up all fired up, he actually spit in my face after one of the plays. And that really got me fired up because I just don't think that should be a part of the game at all.
