Rams punter dishes out cheap shot, cowers in fear when Seahawks retaliate

Getting in a nice block isn’t something a punter gets to do everyday so when Johnny Hekker saw the opportunity to put a hit on the Seahawks Cliff Avril, he took it.

Only problem is that it was an illegal hit and Johnny got flagged for it.

And Johnny soon learned that football is a much safer sport if you stick to punting.

After the game, Seahawks players wanted to make sure everyone knows they don’t appreciate Hekker’s cheapshot on Cliff Avril.
