Rams CB Derion Kendrick was fined $5,017 for unnecessary roughness in Week 5.

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll believed his team was close to beating the Bengals this week: “We just didn’t execute well enough to get it done. All the red zone stuff, that got us. We needed our touchdowns so our numbers will look like crap. I love the way we played today. … that’s a frickin competitive group man.” (Curtis Crabtree)
Seahawks QB Geno Smith also commented on the loss: “Never putting it on anyone else, always pointing the thumb right back at myself. I know that I can be a lot better on third downs. I know that I can be a lot better just throughout the game for the guys and so, like I said, I’m looking forward to that next one.” (Crabtree)
