Falcons' Schraeder: I guess Michael Bennett didn't like getting whooped

The Atlanta Falcons incensed Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett to the point that he was embroiled in a couple of scuffles during Saturday's divisional playoff game.

As the Seahawks trailed the Falcons by 15, Bennett took exception to a play by a Falcons offensive lineman and wrestled with tackle Ryan Schraeder not long after.

After the Falcons' 36-20 victory, Schraeder said he didn't know exactly what provoked Bennett, but he had an idea.

"I guess he didn't like getting whooped during the play," Schraeder said, according to Tom Pelissero of USA Today Sports.
