As is tradition, the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers got into a fight on Sunday. Kenneth Walker threw Deommodore Lenoir like a rag doll, which caused tempers to flare.
It was yet another heated incident between two NFL teams that have a long history of disfavor toward one another that always seems to reach a fever pitch in late November.
The play itself was harmless. Seattle threw a short pass to tight end A.J. Barner, who tried to drive his legs for each additional yard. He was all alone against three defenders.
Walker, a 5-foot-9, 211-pound ball of muscle, ran in to try and help his teammate break loose. In doing so, he laid a big hit to the chest of Lenoir. You could not ask for a better block.
Lenoir did not see Walker coming! The fourth-year defensive back was knocked off balance and tried to go after the third-year running back after regaining his balance. That did not go well for him. He got worked.
Shortly after the play was blown dead, Lenoir circled back to Walker for some extra curricular activity. Not only did he lose the initial block, he also lost the cheap shot.

As could be expected, the hip toss further escalated the situation. Multiple players on both teams stepped in to try and break things up. They ended up right in the middle of a pile of laundry.

Walker and Lenoir were both flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct so the penalties offset. Nobody else involved with the skirmish received punishment. The NFL officials did not determine that ejections were necessary and both players at the center of it all were allowed to stay in the game. It was the right decision, but Lenoir will forever be clowned for getting absolutely bodied.
