Bruce Irvin echoes Tyler Ott on ‘terrible ass’ field conditions at Allianz Arena

The Seahawks and Buccaneers both had to play on the same surface in yesterday’s game. It seemed Seattle had worse luck with the grass at Allianz Arena, though. In several key moments they had players slip and fall.

Irvin stuffed Rachaad White on the first snap of the game and finished with a season-high four tackles. He also had a hand in igniting the defense on the sidelines with a fiery speech after falling behind 14-0.
