The Seattle Seahawks delivered a memorable performance, shutting out the Minnesota Vikings 26-0, marking their first shutout win in over a decade. Fans across the globe immediately turned to quick tv korea to catch the electrifying highlights of this dominant victory. From Ernest Jones IV’s career-first pick-6 to a relentless defense that smothered Minnesota’s offense, Seattle made a bold statement in their push for the NFC West lead.

Seattle’s Defense Takes Over the Game 🛡️

There’s no doubt about it: the Seahawks' defense was on a different level against the Vikings. As fans replayed the highlights on quick tv korea, it was clear that Seattle had complete control. Rookie quarterback Max Brosmer, making his first start for the Vikings, struggled under constant pressure from the Seahawks' defense. With defensive mastermind DeMarcus Lawrence causing chaos in the pocket and Ernest Jones stepping up for a game-changing pick-6, the Vikings had no room to breathe.

Seattle’s defense recorded five takeaways, keeping Minnesota’s offense in check and limiting them to just 162 total yards — the second-lowest mark for the Vikings this season. Seattle was able to frustrate Minnesota’s playmakers and create a never-ending sense of urgency, forcing mistakes that kept the Vikings from getting any momentum.

Ernest Jones IV: From Interception to Touchdown 🌟

Ernest Jones had already been making waves this season, but his pick-6 against Minnesota was the moment that put him in the spotlight. Jones set a goal for himself at the beginning of the year: six interceptions. With four already in hand, the linebacker was already surpassing expectations, and his first career touchdown run was nothing short of spectacular. Jones intercepted a hurried throw by Brosmer and raced 85 yards to give the Seahawks a commanding 10-0 lead.

The highlight instantly made its rounds on quick tv korea, with fans marveling at his speed and determination. Jones admitted he was exhausted after the long run but joked that the short defensive series that followed gave him a brief break.

Vikings Offense Struggles in the Face of Pressure 😶

Minnesota had hoped to find some rhythm with their rookie quarterback, but that never happened. Brosmer was sacked four times in the first half alone, and the Vikings’ offense was completely out of sync. One of the most shocking statistics was the performance of star receiver Justin Jefferson, who managed just two catches for a career-low four yards. The Seahawks’ defense, led by a physical secondary and constant pass rush, neutralized the Pro Bowl wideout, leaving the Vikings without their most dangerous weapon.

After the game, Jefferson declined to speak with reporters, clearly frustrated by the outcome. Brosmer acknowledged how difficult the game was, admitting that Seattle’s defense had outmatched them in every aspect. Minnesota’s hopes of a late-season run now seem even more distant, especially after their fourth consecutive loss.

Offense Does Just Enough, Thanks to Special Teams 💥

While the Seahawks’ offense wasn’t explosive, it didn’t need to be. Facing a Vikings defense that was blitzing from all angles, Seattle’s offensive line held its ground just enough to give Sam Darnold time to make plays. Darnold didn’t put up eye-popping numbers, but he was efficient when needed, and the Seahawks made the most of field position thanks to a strong special teams performance.

Jason Myers, one of the league’s most reliable kickers, hit three field goals from 56, 54, and 43 yards, showing his accuracy from range. The offense also got a boost from rookie running back Zach Charbonnet, who capped off the win with a 17-yard touchdown run. While the offense didn’t light up the scoreboard, it was more than enough to complement the dominant defense.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Quiet But Confident 🎯

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, the NFL’s leading receiver, didn’t catch a pass until the third quarter, but that didn’t bother him. As the game unfolded, Smith-Njigba remained confident, praising the team’s defense for carrying the load. Despite the Vikings bringing heavy blitzes and pressure, Seattle’s offense stayed calm under fire. Smith-Njigba didn’t need to be the center of attention; he understood that this was a team effort, with the defense doing the heavy lifting and the offense doing just enough to seal the win.

Remembering Kenny Easley 💙

The day was also emotional for Seahawks fans as they honored legendary safety Kenny Easley, who passed away at the age of 66. Easley, inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017, was one of the most iconic players in Seahawks history. The team held a moment of silence in his honor before the game, and fans on quick tv korea shared heartfelt tributes and memories of Easley’s unforgettable career. His No. 45 jersey, retired by the team, remains a symbol of excellence in Seattle’s football history.

Seahawks Move Into First Place in NFC West 🚀

With the victory, the Seahawks are now tied with the Los Angeles Rams for first place in the NFC West. As Seattle heads into the final stretch of the season, the team is feeling confident, especially with its defense playing at a level few teams can match. With five games remaining, the Seahawks are positioned for a strong playoff run, and their message is clear: there’s still work to be done.

As DeMarcus Lawrence put it, Seattle’s defense is still hungry. "We haven’t even reached our best yet," he said. Fans tuning in through quick tv korea will be eagerly awaiting what’s next for this surging team.

Tyreek Hill.

Another scar on the Public Relations image of the NFL, not just the Kansas City Chiefs. At some point the league and the players are going to need to look inward at the bullsh*t they have created and continue to perpetuate.

In nearly any other vocation, the following charges:

·         child abuse

·         sexual assault

·         fraud

·         manslaughter

·         murder

·         theft

·         drunk driving

·         solicitation of illegal services or substances

·         sale and distribution of illegal services or substances

 all would typically lead to the termination of your job, and likely your career in that field…but not the NFL.

We have seen film of Ray Rice, assaulting his fiancé. Suspended, but not signed again despite rallying for a chance. Blackballed even, but not banned.

We have audio of Tyreek Hill and his fiancé discussing the CONSPIRACY to hide his abusive behavior. Suspended from team activities, but not banned despite medical evidence of a child’s broken arm and other abuse, including spousal abuse.

We have pictures of Adrian Peterson’s child, beaten and scarred. Suspended, the reinstated. He had 1000 yards last season in Washington.

We have photos of Greg Hardy’s girlfriend…beaten and scarred and bruised. Suspended, reinstated, suspended.

Them, we have the ridiculous saga of Aldon Smith:

On January 28, 2012, Smith was arrested for driving under the influence in Miami Beach, Florida.

 On June 30, 2012, Smith was believed to have suffered stab wounds when attempting to break up a fight at a party at his Santa Clara county residence. Two other people were shot in the incident. On October 9, 2013, Smith was charged with "three felony counts of illegal possession of an assault weapon" relating to the stabbing incident. The charges were later reduced to misdemeanors.

 On September 20, 2013, Smith was involved in a single vehicle accident in San Jose, California. He was subsequently arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and possession of marijuana. After the loss to the Indianapolis Colts in the third week of the football season, he voluntarily entered a rehabilitation facility, to be put onto the non-football injury list with an indefinite leave of absence.

 On April 13, 2014, Smith was detained and arrested following an incident at the Los Angeles International Airport in which Smith became belligerent and uncooperative with a TSA agent, who alleged Smith claimed he was carrying a bomb. After interviews revealed that Smith did not clearly state he was carrying a bomb, the Los Angeles City Attorney decided to drop the charges. Smith was suspended for nine games for the 2014 season.

 On August 6, 2015, Smith was arrested in Santa Clara, California, for an alleged hit and run after driving under the influence, and vandalism charges. He was released by the 49ers the next day as a result.

 On March 9, 2017, Smith was a passenger with a friend driving to Smith's house at 12:00 AM, when San Francisco police department found out both Smith and the driver were under the influence. Even though Smith was not the driver, both Smith and his friend were detained by San Francisco Police Department for questioning. On March 10, Smith and his friend were released. No arrests were made.

 On September 23, 2017, it was announced that Smith had agreed to plead No Contest to Hit and Run in the 2015 incident in exchange for the DUI charges being dropped. He was sentenced to 20 days in jail. During his sentence, he was ordered to attend a treatment facility, and undergo anger management classes. After his release, he was disallowed from entering any bars or other establishments where alcohol is the primary commodity being sold.

 On March 3, 2018, someone called the police from Smith's home and reported that he had consumed multiple bottles of tequila and then bit her wrists. Smith reportedly fled the home before police arrived. San Francisco police did not comment on the specifics, but did state that domestic violence of a "non-lethal" nature had occurred and they were seeking out Smith for questioning about the incident.

 On March 23, 2018, Smith was arrested for violation of court order, where he was ordered to stay away from a woman he assaulted earlier in the month. The woman was revealed to be Smith's fiancee. This picked up from a previous incident that occurred on March 3, where Smith pleaded not guilty on four misdemeanor counts,including domestic violence, assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, false imprisonment, and vandalism.

 On April 8, 2018, Smith was arrested for violations in conditions to his bail.

 Suspended, and reinstated, several times.

This is just a small sampling.

Then, what’s the solution?

A Zero (0%) tolerance policy. It’s essentially what every person working for a normal institution must endure to collect paychecks and build a career. The earnings potential of professional sports should not play any part in the decision making to whether a player, coach, administrator or team staff member will be retained after significant legal accusations and or convictions.

I have managed to live to 47 years of age without being arrested, much less cuffed and detained in a holding cell. I have managed to not abuse, victimize or injure anyone else. I have managed to not drive drunk, sell illegal substances or commit fraud. I have managed to not conspire or attempt to murder someone.

I came from an environment where alcohol abuse and drug abuse is rampant (including in my own Family), where property crime and child abuse are above average statistically and where gang activity and inter-state crime is prominent. None of that determined my behavior, my opinion on how to treat women and children, nor prompted me to seek illegal enterprise or actions.

Simply said, to be an athlete, you need to be skilled enough to earn a scholarship.

Theoretically, you need to maintain grades to compete and meet the conditions of the scholarship.

Next, you need to excel in your sport enough to warrant consideration to be drafted or signed.

Next, you need to make the team…and stay healthy enough to compete.

So, for NCAA FBS programs, here is the numbers involved:

130 Programs x 100 average player roster = 13,000 players on average a season.

A quick check of the rosters shows that each team has between ten and twenty seniors, so let's say that each team has an average of fifteen seniors. That makes for a total of 12,650 players, with 1,725 seniors.

Seniors and juniors who have met certain criteria only are eligible to be drafted.

KEY STATISTIC: ONLY 7% of eligible players get drafted IN ANY YEAR.

The National Football League employs 32 teams, with 53 active players and an eight-man practice squad.

1,952 players.

Long story short, there are a lot of talented young men who will gladly work hard and take one of the 1,952 spots of a player who cannot embrace the gift of talent they were given and act responsibly. Being a professional athlete is more than playing the game and putting on the uniform.

We are doing greater harm by continuing to condone bad behavior, criminal acts and abusive people in our sports institutions.

Being paid to play a children’s sport professional is a privilege.

Being paid to represent a branded league, branded team and endorse products associated with it is a privilege.

One’s ability to play faster, stronger and as a champion should not win over that same person’s inability to exercise self-control, live an honorable existence and show true citizenship.

You are paid to be a professional.

You have a higher standard.

Despite Charles Barkley’s denial 20-some years ago, YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL.

As soon as you pose for that first picture at the Draft. As soon as you practice in front of camera, make that winning free-throw, strike out the last batter or cross the finish line.

YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL.

It is time the professional sports organizations in this country took a stand and pick being role models and defending their image and honor by excluding the cancers that belie these great institutions.

It would hurt a lot of players and fans, but that’s the price they pay when they abuse, kill, cheat, lie, commit fraud, or anything that would get the average person fired and likely blacklisted from their chosen profession.

Here’s a small sample of who would have had their careers shortened if implemented.

Tom Brady                    

knowledge of deflated game balls and failure to cooperate.                               NEVER BANNED

 Question 1: Is money really so important that you would tolerate a horrible human who is capable of abuse, murder, cheating, lying, fraud, illegal or immoral activities as an owner, coach, teammate or staff member to get it?
