Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald on Seattle's penalties: 'unacceptable on any level'
The Seahawks coach was fuming during the postgame press conference.
After Seattle Seahawks defeated the Los Angeles Chargers with a score of 30-23, head coach Mike Macdonald expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's performance. During the postgame press conference, Macdonald addressed the fact that his team was penalized 14 times for a total of 150 yards, with seven of those penalties being personal fouls.
While the Chargers were not without their own issues, with 16 penalties for 130 yards, Macdonald remained visibly frustrated. He acknowledged the win but emphasized that penalties are an unacceptable cost of doing business in the NFL. Macdonald specifically criticized the seven personal fouls, stating that "that's not how we're going to do business" and "that's not how we're going to play."
He further explained that the team wants to win games while maintaining a strong and disciplined style of play. Macdonald concluded by reiterating that the Seahawks must address their penalty issues quickly, as giving up 150 yards in penalties to the 49ers could lead to disastrous consequences.
