After a holding penalty that wiped out a late touchdown in the Week 4 Thursday night game between the Seahawks and Cardinals, Seattle receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba said to referee Alex Kemp, “ That’s some bullshit .” Kemp, along with anyone who was watching the game, heard it.
It should have drawn a flag. It did not, however, draw a fine.
Smith-Njigba’s name did not appear on the list of fines imposed by the league in the aftermath of all Week 4 games.
A pair of $11,593 taunting fines were issued for the game — one on running back Kenneth Walker III and one on cornerback Devon Witherspoon. Walker was flagged; Witherspoon was not.
Meanwhile, Smith-Njigba needs 98 receiving yards on Sunday against the Buccaneers to be the first player in Seahawks history with 500 or more receiving yard
