Jeremy Lane got tangled up with a Packers player early in Sunday’s game, and his frustration got the best of him, costing his team.
Lane and Davante Adams were going at it after Nazair Jones picked off an Aaron Rodgers pass and took it to the house. Unfortunately for the Seahawks, Lane took a costly penalty and the pick-six was relegated to an interception.
The Seahawks cornerback wrestled Adams to the ground, and then struck him in the face. He was ejected from the game by the officials for throwing a punch.
Here's a replay of the ejection…. Yes, this is what the refs used as cause. #Seahawks #SEAvsGB pic.twitter.com/Z2d6e11d0Y

The decision to eject Lane seemed to be a bit extreme, but the officials were likely sending a message that that type of conduct is not OK on the football field.
