I guess when you let the San Francisco 49ers, one of the worst scoring teams in the league, drop 23 points on you, things are bound to get heated, at least for Frank Clark and Jarran Reed.

The Seahawks defensive end and defensive tackle were caught on camera in the fourth quarter getting in each other’s faces on the sideline after Reed was ejected from the game for a personal foul penalty. Clark obviously had words for Reed, who clearly didn’t want to hear it, so Clark took a more physical approach, grabbing his teammate before other Seahawks players intervened.

Say what you want about the exchange, but you have to love the fire in Clark, even if he went overboard by grabbing Reed.

The Seahawks defense has been in dire need of leadership, both on and off the field, ever since All-Pro safety Earl Thomas went down with a broken leg.

Entering Sunday’s game, the Seahawks defense has been just 1-3 without Thomas in the lineup.
