The Hawks lost a football game to the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday night. One of the major reasons for the loss was Adams’ inability to prevent Jake Ferguson from scoring a winning touchdown.

Seahawks safety Jamal Adams got beaten for the crucial TD in the recent 41-35 loss to the Cowboys. To make this worse, a reporter named Connor Hughes tweeted “yikes” on his TD video, referring to the missed opportunity by Adams. In response, the athlete later took to Twitter and took a shot at the appearance of the reporter’s wife.

He wrote “Yikes” on the reporter’s wife’s photo, grabbing a lot of hateful comments for his action. Another reporter, Brian Costello took to his social media, and backlashed Adams for his behavior. He wrote, “I’ve covered a lot of players through the years. Never met any who was more of a phony than Jamal Adams. I always thought he was a bad guy. Today he proved he is even worse than I thought.

The NFL didn’t punish Seahawks safety Jamal Adams for his behavior toward an unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant. After the game against the Giants in Week 4, Adams sustained a concussion. During the concussion protocol, the doctor who was attending Adams was targeted by the athlete. According to the reports and a viral video, he was seen yelling at the doctor for undisclosed reasons, and then the team’s staff had to intervene.

Despite this shocking incident and online criticism, the NFL did not take any disciplinary action against him. However, Adams later apologized publicly on social media to the consultant. Furthermore, after the Bengals game, when the concussion doctor came to check on him, he reportedly misbehaved with the doctor, marking it as the second incident. Consequently, he was later penalized $50,000 for his actions.
