One of the athletic feats for which Youngblood is best known, is that of playing the entire 1979 playoffs, including Super Bowl XIV, with a fractured left fibula.[41][42] He also played in the 1980 Pro Bowl with the injured leg, a week after the Super Bowl.[43] In the playoffs, Youngblood sacked Dallas Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach near the sideline in the waning moments of the divisional playoff game versus the Cowboys.[44] Playing with the fractured leg was noted by Sports Illustrated in their Top 10 list of athletes playing in pain
Man up Kendricks!

Injuries are part of the game and the timing is never good but, this stings a bit.

Like when they called an offensive unnecessary roughness penalty on #65, resulting in an automatic 1st Down for the Seahawks, in that same game against the Vikings, and then a minute later, the Officials decided they had the right number but the wrong team, REALLY, how can you get the colors wrong, I mean bright florescent Green or all White with a flash of Purple, and they decide that the got the NUMBER WRONG? Trying to convince the audience, that it was Ifedi who was at fault, and reversed the calling, giving the Vikings the ball, 15 yards down the field from wherever they ended up with it after we punted it away to them instead of playing the 1st down we were awarded two minutes prior.
It really got hilarious when they went to review the penalty and found that Ifedi hadn't done anything that could be considered a penalty, no matter how they tried to justify it, so what to do next? I couldn't believe that they stuck to that call in spite of there being no evidence to support it, and then tried to sell us on the idea that they got both the colors and the number wrong, by telling us that it was indeed #66 of our offense, and how did they deduct that he was the guilty culprit? because "he was a big guy like Ifedi", and wearing a Green Jersey, a real spitting image of Germain, but even then they couldn't produce anything on their replay that looked like a penalty committed by Jordan Simmons.

It looked like Ifedi inadvertently pushed the referee while Ifedi was trying to breakup the fight.
In the last couple years, the refs have been extremely sensitive to “being pushed.” Their union has even started tracking the number of supposed “pushes” and has demanded the NFL deter it.
Here’s the video:

Vikings were definitely the instigators and should have been the ones penalized for cheap shots against Simmons and Ifedi.
