RENTON, Wash. -- During his weekly interview with 710 ESPN Seattle on Monday, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said his team's captains spoke to teammates Saturday during their usual night-before-game meeting. The first thing that strong safety Kam Chancellor mentioned, according to Carroll, was the recurring penalty problem that again has plagued the Seahawks in 2017.
"He addressed it and hit it right between the eyes," Carroll said.
So you can imagine the coach's frustration when, less than 24 hours later, the Seahawks committed a season-high 16 penalties in a mistake-filled loss to the Washington Redskins.
