Michael Bennett calls out Seahawks owner on ESPN: Pay Kam Chancellor image

Never mind the batted fumble; that's so not reviewable.

The Seahawks-Lions subplot that deserves a second look is defensive end Michael Bennett calling out his team's owner.

During former holdout Kam Chancellor's postgame interview on ESPN about his game-saving play Monday against the Lions, Bennett popped his head into view and had a few words for Paul Allen.

"Pay him, pay him. Paul Allen’s the 17th-richest man in the world. Pay him,” Bennett said.

If you're not familiar with Bennett, then … well, get to know him, because he didn't stop there. The Texas native also spoke about his motivation against the Lions.

“I don’t like Matt Stafford much,” Bennett said. “He’s from Dallas. They killed the president (JFK). I hold it against him.”
