Michael Bennett penalized for manhandling Andy Dalton

Adding insult to injury, Michael Bennett abused Andy Dalton by hitting him repeatedly following an interception on Sunday when the Seattle Seahawks visited the Cincinnati Bengals.

The first block was understandable, even though it was a block in the back. The second hit was questionable — at best. The third hit was absolutely dirty, and it will be interesting to see what kind of response we see from the league after Bennett clearly speared Dalton while he was on the ground.

Michael Bennett might hear from the league about this. https://t.co/slumNTnf39 #SEAvsCIN

It’s one thing to block until the whistle when you’re a defensive lineman blocking an offensive lineman on a running play, but this was completely out of line.
