After missing the playoffs, a former Seahawks captain was seen “Shaking With Anger” about Victory Cigars.
The Seattle Seahawks did what they needed to do in Week 18, beating the Arizona Cardinals 21-20 with a dramatic late two-point conversion. However, the Green Bay Packers won their game, too, eliminating the Seahawks from the playoffs. After the game, several Seahawks players lit victory cigars and posed for pictures in the locker room, and Super Bowl-winning punter Jon Ryan was not happy with that.
Seahawks DBs Smoked Victory Cigars After Week 18 Cardinals Win
By the time the Seahawks got off the field following their Week 18 victory over the Cardinals, they knew that the Packers had eliminated them from the playoffs. The mood—at least in parts of the locker room—was anything but somber.
Shortly after the game, video emerged of several players smoking cigars, smiling, and proudly posing for pictures in the locker room, courtesy of The News Tribune’s Seahawks beat writer Greg Bell.
Safety Julian Love and cornerback Riq Woolen were easily identifiable with their jerseys still on, while it looked like fellow defensive backs Devon Witherspoon, Michael Jackson, and Ty Okada, among others, were there, too.
