The Seahawks did not take their hard-fought loss to the Jaguars in stride as several members of their defense (Michael Bennett, Sheldon Richardson, and Quinton Jefferson) lost their cool in the final seconds of the game.
Jefferson, in particular, nearly gave the NFL it’s version of the Malice in the Palace by attempting to go hard at Jaguars fans who threw beer at him after he got ejected from the game. If it weren’t for the somewhat tall wall, he probably would’ve devoured them:

All of the drama stems from Michael Bennett diving at knees while the Jags were trying to run out the clock:

Bennett was hit with unnecessary roughness for that stunt and Richardson was ejected for throwing a punch. Jefferson, as you already know, was ejected on the following play.
The Seahawks don't lose well. Michael Bennett with some trash after the victory formation, and Sheldon Richardson was ejected for throwing a punch.
