Seattle Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane is used to having opponents attempt to take him out by any means necessary on special teams.
Special teams players are a unique blend of insane and wild. Their main goal is to run full speed down the field and hit somebody. Most players cannot wait until they are finally off the special teams unit, and it is hard to blame them.
Lane just could not have expected a person on San Francisco’s sidelines to take him out during the NFC championship game on Sunday.
Seattle punted on fourth-and-20 from its own 41-yard line to start the second quarter, and Lane was a member of Seattle’s special teams unit. Lane somehow ended up on San Francisco’s sidelines, and as he was trying get back on the field, an unknown person took down Seattle's cornerback near 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh (h/t Greg Smith).
It is hard to tell if the person who took down Lane did it on purpose. However, the NFL will probably look into this incident.
Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin was fined $100,000 for his sideline interference against the Baltimore Ravens in November, even though he said the contact was incidental. Tomlin interfered with Ravens kick returner Jacoby Jones, and even though coach was penalized for being too close to the playing field, player safety has been the NFL's mantra for several seasons.
One thing is certain, nobody is safe on special teams.

There was a punt by the 49ers in the 3rd quarter where the kicker was hit by one of the Seattle defenders. The penalty (5yds) was declined by San Francisco and Seattle retained the ball at their own 38 yard line.
Can someone/anyone explain to me why the 49ers refused the penalty ? Couldn't they have accepted the 5 yard penalty and replayed 4th down (wherein they could kick again or not) ?

Huh! I thought roughing the punter/kicker was an automatic first down.
Maybe that rule's been changed...

That's correct - but they said it wasn't roughing but a lesser penalty for incidental contact with the kicker (which was also a bad call because the kicker was hit on his plant leg which is roughing).

I am glad Seattle won. Kapernick is a tatooed thug.

That Navarro Bowman injury was frightening. I can't see him coming all the way back from that.

This is correct. Bad call. ;)

The guy that got his leg pretzeled?
Gruesome fold-up there.

Yes, very Joe Theismann-like.

I watched the game, on and off, but I did (unfortunately) see the mix-master play.
Hoping that the lad makes a quick and full recovery.
Football, at any level, is a brutal sport.

I went to grade school with a kid in Chicago. He went to Gordon Tech High School and played football there. I heard that he broke his collar bone playing that sport. Brutal it is, most certainly. ;)

I believe there might be room for regulating football at all levels where the player is a minor. As an adult he makes decisions for himself and should know the possible consequences.

I believe he might have had his pads on incorrectly. That is the only way this could have happened. ;)
