Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman iced the game with a pick in the final minute and stopped the play by taking a knee. Bennett shoved Mangold from behind.
“That’s a cheap shot,” the center told Newsday. “The guy was clearly taking a knee. The play’s over and you’re going to go run up on my back like that? That’s just cheap and dirty.”
Earlier in the game, Bennett was head-butted by Jets guard Brian Winters as a play ended. Winters was flagged 15 yards and also left the game with a concussion.
Bennett, according to the Seattle Times, was incensed.
Bennett said Winters “just came in like the play was over and hit me in the head. I’ve got three daughters and I love playing with them and I don’t want this to be the last thing I do.”
