A Seahawks game wouldn’t be complete without controversy, and that controversy came early in the first quarter of Seattle’s victory over the Eagles on wild card Sunday.
Scrambling up field, Carson Wentz fell forward as he was tripped up by Bradley McDougald. Following him to the ground, Jadeveon Clowney landed on top of Philadelphia’s quarterback, with his helmet making contact with Wentz’s, which pushed Wentz’s head into the turf. No flag was thrown on the play.
Wentz would play five more snaps before leaving the game with a concussion and not returning, while Clowney was booed constantly.
