The Seattle Seahawks received a penalty for having too many men on the field as the Jacksonville Jaguars attempted a 2-point conversion after a touchdown.
Usually, teams that commit the penalty accidentally have 12 players on the field at any given time. Teams are only allowed to have 11 offensive and defensive players at a time. Instead, the official announced that the Seahawks were penalized for having 13 men on the field.
