Seahawks Player Runs Off Sideline Onto Field In Middle Of Play, Proceeds To Start Blocking

When the ’12th man’ gets taken too seriously…

The Raiders bested the Seahawks Sunday in a 40-34 thriller, and it may have gone the other way if the Seahawks decided to implement this strategy more often.

Derek Carr’s first pass of the afternoon was picked off by the Seattle defense, and as soon as the Seahawks defender caught the ball Darrell Taylor proceeded to run onto the field from the sideline and start blocking for his team going the other way.

Darrell Taylor really did run off the sideline to block on Carr's first INT. Credit to @Sanjit__T for noticing this first.

Guessing he just got overly excited, thought Diggs was down and wanted to celebrate pic.twitter.com/eRhdRvmiUE

Somehow, no official noticed and no flag was thrown.
