The defending din at Lumen Field in Seattle is nothing new, but on Sunday, the home crowd played a massive role in discombobulating the Carolina Panthers’ offense in the Seahawks’ 37-27 victory.<\/p>\n

The Panthers were called for a whopping eight false start penalties Sunday, most of which were a direct result of the crowd noise.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, I think the (12s), they got us a win today” quarterback \ufeffGeno Smith\ufeff said. “You can tell just from watching them out there. The offense, they can’t hear a thing. I think they had eight or 10 pre-snap penalties, and you can put that right on our crowd.<\/p>\n

“I think we have the best fans in the world. Just tremendous the way they showed up for us today and always. They’re always here for us. We want to continue to give them things to get rowdy about, because it makes it hard on the opposing offense. (The 12s were) real today, and I’m just happy to be a part of it.”<\/p>\n

It’s not often we highlight crowd noise. Fans are loud. It’s what they do best. Home stadiums across the league offer boisterous settings. But Sunday’s performance was noteworthy.<\/p>\n
