Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Quinton Jefferson spoke candidly about his involvement in an altercation with Jacksonville Jaguars fans after being ejected from Sunday's game.
Jefferson tried to climb into the stands and was restrained after being struck by debris on multiple occasions.
Seahawks defensive lineman Jarran Reed alleged that Jefferson had been called a racial slur. Jefferson said he didn't know if that was the case, although the fans in question insulted his family.
"I honestly don't know," Jefferson said to ESPN's Brady Henderson. "There was a lot of people saying a lot of stuff, so I really didn't tune into anything in particular. There was really only one thing I tuned into in particular. Somebody said they was going to have sex with my mother. That's the only thing I really can really remember. There was a lot of yelling."
No suspensions will be issued as a result of the altercation, although Jefferson could be fined. The Jaguars also stated they would ban the four assailants from purchasing tickets.
Jefferson said his family was particularly upset by the incident.
"It was a little hard," he said. "It was even worse because I've got kids. My kids seen it, my wife seen it, and she was upset about it and everything. I felt even more for them because they had to watch that stuff."
Jefferson said he's moved on from last week's skirmish, and is focused on Sunday's key divisional battle against the Los Angeles Rams.
"It was just one of them things. It's unfortunate. I wish it didn't get that far, wish it didn't happen, but it's one of them things that happened. We've got to learn from it, and then ultimately we've got to move on from it. We're getting ready for L.A."
