Seahawks followed both their interceptions with unsportsmanlike celebration penalties
The Seahawks intercepted two passes in Thursday night's preseason game against the Raiders. And they followed both interceptions with unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. The interceptions were by Josh Jobe and Nehemiah Pritchett, but the penalties weren't on them. They were on the veterans on the Seahawks' defense who weren't even in the game but ran onto the field to celebrate. After the game, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said he's glad the veterans were cheering on the players who were on the field, but he needs to emphasize that it can't happen in the regular season. "We really can't afford to be doing that moving forward. But having the enthusiasm, having the guys being fired up for guys making plays, that was pretty cool," Macdonald said, via Brady Henderson of ESPN. Both interceptions were thrown by Raiders backup quarterback Aidan O'Connell, who played most of the game after a brief appearance by starter Geno Smith.

Not to be outdone, second year cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett snagged one himself from O'Connell later in the second quarter. The Seahawks capitalized on Pritchett's interception and managed to turn it into three points from a successful Jason Myers field goal attempt. Seattle was able to build a 16-3 lead at halftime as a result. Many have written this offseason, including yours truly, that cornerback depth is an underrated issue for Seattle's defense. Well, with how these two are playing against the Raiders, they are doing their best to make the argument that the depth.
