Exactly how many players were suspended for Seattle Seahawks and Jacksonville Jaguars fight from over the weekend? The answer is incredibly odd, as the total number of guys the National Football League has decided should sit is zero.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media is the person reporting this to be the case.

Zero human beings. None. Zilch. As many players from the Seahawks and Jaguars will be suspended over some tomfoolery as there will be people you eat for breakfast today.
For those missing context to the shenanigans, A LOT was happening in the closing moments of that game.
Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett dived at the knees of Jaguars center Brandon Linder during victory formation. That’s one thing.
Then there’s defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson being ejected for throwing a punch. Another thing.
Also, defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson being ejected.
That final “thing” might be the worst in terms of optics, as a fan hurled something at Jefferson when he was being escorted off the field, with the lineman attempting to make his way in the stands to go after the evil-doer.
I don't know what to make of this, but this seems strange given previous suspensions handed down by the National Football League. Then again, the only thing the NFL is consistent at being is being inconsistent.
