NFL Announces Punishment for Seattle Seahawks After Patrick Mahomes Play

The Seattle Seahawks avoided losing yardage on Uchenna Nwosu’s horse-collar tackle of Patrick Mahomes. Their linebacker did not avoid a financial penalty. The NFL fined Nwosu $17,911 for unnecessary roughness following Seattle’s 20-3 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 25. The league’s disciplinary listing identifies a horse-collar tackle with 2:46 remaining in the third quarter. The decision settles the question raised in Heavy’s earlier reporting on Nwosu’s potential punishment. A fine that had been anticipated after the game is now official.
