The Seahawks' Derrick Hall and Jarran Reed fought on the sideline with costly penalties

Seahawks linebacker Derrick Hall and defensive lineman Jarran Reed faced each other on the field and had to break up a full-scale fight on the sideline during Sunday's loss to the Bills.

Hall was called for roughing the passer and the penalty set up a Bills touchdown, and Reed appeared to call Hall out both immediately after the penalty and again on the sideline after the touchdown. Hall didn't take kindly to it, but he said after the game that he appreciated Reid's veteran leadership.

“We told each other we love each other” said Hall. “No bad blood.”

Hall said Reed was telling him to play smart.

“He loves the game,” Hall said of Reid. “I love the game. By then the matter had become heated. He is a leader and he is the leader of our team. When things hit the fan, you have to lean on all the people and maybe we both could have done some things better.”

Seahawks head coach Mike McDonald seemed more upset about the penalty than the fight.

“Wasn't a smart penalty,” McDonald said. “We just don't train our guys to attack the quarterback, so it wasn't a smart move.”

Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins was so surprised to see the two opponents tackle each other that he said he tried to break them up.

“So that they fight in the field'Brother, look. You are all a team. It's toned down and come. Next play,'” Dawkins said he told them.

Perhaps the Seahawks need an experienced leader like Dawkins.
