I was just playing fast and he turned like Earl Campbell Jersey he was running the ball, so I was trying to get him down," Clowney said. "It was a bang-bang play. I don't intend to hurt anybody in this league, let me just put that out there. I've been down the injury road; it's not fun. My intention was not to hurt him. I was just playing fast." Carson Wentz went to the locker room after taking this hit from Jadeveon Clowney Kevin Boilard (@247KevinBoilard) Clowney denied he made contact with Wentz's helmet as Seahawks safety tripped him up for the sack.

Their fans hate me for some reason," Clowney said. "They think I tried to kill Nick Foles. You remember that play? It was bang-bang. I didn't take him to the ground, either." NFL official Shawn Smith agreed with Clowney that there shouldn't have been a penalty on the Wentz hit, even though there's evidence to the contrary."He was a runner and he did not give himself up," Smith said in a pool report. "We saw incidental helmet contact, and in our judgement, we didn't rule that to be a foul. From what we saw on the field it was incidental."
