The Seattle Seahawks struggled to find momentum against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, trailing 14-3 in a lackluster first half at Lumen Field. Frustrations mounted on the Seahawks’ sideline, ultimately boiling over into a tense confrontation between two teammates, defensive lineman Jarran Reed and linebacker Derick Hall.
Cameras caught the intense moment as the two exchanged heated words. Hall, visibly frustrated, pointed at Reed during what appeared to be a disagreement over a recent play.
The argument escalated quickly when Reed lunged at Hall, grabbing his facemask, sparking a full-blown altercation that required other teammates to step in and separate the two before it could get further out of hand.
The incident seemed to echo Hall’s earlier mistake on the field, where he delivered a late hit on Bills quarterback Josh Allen on a critical third down.

The costly penalty nullified a Buffalo illegal shift, allowing the Bills to keep possession and dampening Seattle’s efforts to regain momentum. Reporters on the scene noted that Reed was vocal in his disapproval of Hall’s decision, and tensions only rose from there.
While sideline arguments aren’t entirely uncommon in the NFL, especially when the stakes are high, the intensity of this exchange drew extra attention.
As Tom Brady noted in the broadcast, “even teammates get into it” occasionally, but this level of tension on the Seahawks sideline suggests deeper frustrations within the team.
As Seattle headed into the second half, the team hoped to shake off the missteps and refocus on closing the score gap.
A strong second-half performance could ease tensions and bring the Seahawks together, but the visibly shaken dynamic on the sidelines raises questions about the team’s internal cohesion moving forward.
