The Jacksonville Jaguars are taking what happened at the end of Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks seriously. In a statement released by the club, the team says it is working with NFL Security, the stadium management company, the Jacksonville Sherriff’s Office and the stadium security company to identify fans who threw objects at Seahawks players.
Those who are identified will lose the ability to purchase tickets and/or will have season tickets revoked. They will also be banned from attending any further games.

Seahawks defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson had multiple fans throw objects at him as he was leaving the field following an ejection. Receiver Doug Baldwin appeared to have a can thrown at his back after a touchdown earlier in the game, too.
This type of behavior absolutely cannot be tolerated. The Jaguars are doing the right thing to ensure those who did throw objects at players will be punished.
Earlier this afternoon, the NFL opted not to suspend Seahawks players for their part in the late-gane mayhem.
