Not only did Woolen give the Rams a new set of downs, star Rams receiver Puka Nacua got him beat for a long touchdown on the following snap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Wide receiver\/Hall monitor Davante Adams made sure the official knew Woolen did something wrong.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The good news for Woolen is that the Seahawks won the NFC Championship Game anyway and are going to the Super Bowl. The bad news is that Woolen\u2019s penalty cost him a little bit more than just the 15 yards and the ensuing backlash.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Woolen was the only played fined from either the AFC or NFC Championship Game. The $17,398 penalty is Riq\u2019s third fine of the season, all for taunting. He was docked $11,593 for taunting late in Seattle\u2019s Week 9 blowout win over the Washington Commanders, then another $17,389 in garbage time against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. This taunting penalty was in a much more high-leverage situation but thankfully didn\u2019t prove to be the turning point in the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Seattle Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen was the center of unwanted attention after his would-be third-down stop of the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":721452,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[7,6,718],"class_list":{"0":"post-721451","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-nfl","10":"tag-seattle-seahawks-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115995543728723339","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=721451"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/721451\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/721452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=721451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=721451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=721451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
