The NFL is reviewing a hit by Seattle Seahawks linebacker Derick Hall on New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye during a game Wednesday night at Lumen Field. The incident occurred in the first quarter when Hall shoved Maye after the quarterback had stepped out of bounds. Officials penalized the Seahawks 15 yards for unnecessary roughness on the play. Despite the hit, Maye remained in the game and finished with 178 passing yards and one touchdown in a 13-10 loss to the Seahawks. League officials are now evaluating the incident to determine if additional discipline is necessary under Rule 12, Section 2, Article 8 of the 2026 rulebook. A first-time violation for a late hit typically carries an $11,941 fine.
