Ernest Jones IV has a two-word message for any and all doubters

The Seattle Seahawks celebrated their Super Bowl victory with a trophy celebration on Wednesday. Linebacker Ernest Jones IV made notable remarks during the event, wearing a T-shirt depicting quarterback Sam Darnold with a middle finger in a Johnny Cash style. Jones expressed gratitude towards team owner Jody Allen, General Manager John Schneider, and Coach Mike Macdonald, while also defending his teammates and the city of Seattle with strong language.

Jones has been vocal in supporting quarterback Sam Darnold, especially after Darnold's four-interception game during a Week 11 loss to the Rams. Following the loss, Jones publicly defended Darnold, emphasizing the quarterback's importance to the team and dismissing criticisms. After that game, the Seahawks won their next 10 games, with Darnold throwing only four interceptions and none during the postseason. The team has used external criticism as motivation throughout their successful season.
