SANTA CLARA, Calif. Michael Bennett got a seat. He got a sack. Then he got a coin.
He’s most proud of the coin.
The Seahawks’ Pro Bowl defensive end again sat during the national anthem Sunday before Seattle’s win here over San Francisco. That was after he stood during the anthmes before the previous two games when Seattle and Arizona hosted "Salute to Service" nights.
Eight of Bennett’s teammates joined him in sitting Sunday. Left tackle Duane Brown and defensive end Branden Jackson each took a knee beside them in front of the bench on the Seahawks’ sideline.
