The Seahawks and the Falcons found a unique way on Sunday to honor the Black Lives Matter movement.
Before the game, during the national anthem, only a few players on the Seahawks took a knee in protest of police brutaliy.
Didn't see any Falcons players take a knee during the National Anthem. Quite a few Seahawks players did, including K.J. Wright and Michael Dickson. And 12 Seattle players came onto the field after the anthem was finished playing.

However, on the opening kickoff every player on the field took a knee and no one moved to observe a moment of silence.
Seahawks and Falcons kicked the ball off and both team took a knee. No one moved. I got the chills.

Something new in the rebellion of players in the NFL:
After the kickoff, all the players on both the Seahawks and the Falcons took a knee.No one returned the ball, no one gave chase.
These players know that Black Lives are #BiggerThanFootball.#BlackLivesMatter pic.twitter.com/m91BI6DVOv
