Ernest Jones IV tends to get defensive.The linebacker led the Seattle Seahawks with 11 tackles in their 29-13 Super Bowl victory over the New England Patriots. It was a dull affair in part because of the Seahawks’ stifling defense.Jones livened up the celebration Wednesday in Seattle while at the same time calling out the team’s doubters.“I’m probably the last person they should have gave the mic to,” he told fans. He might have been right, as he used the opportunity to repeat some choice words he used after a Week 11 loss.Said Jones: “Not only do we have the best defense in the world, we got the best team in the world, and quite frankly, if you got anything to say for my quarterback, you got anything to say for my defense, you got anything to say for my O-line, and you got anything to say about the city of Seattle, I got two words for you: Fuck you!”"Quite frankly, if you got anything to say about my quarterback. If you got anything to say about my defense. If you got anything to say about my O-line. And you got anything to say about the city of Seattle, I got two word you: F*CK YOU!" - Seahawks LB Ernest Jones pic.twitter.com/r38oV1sdK0— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) February 11, 2026It wasn’t family-friendly, but the fans ate it up.Jones used that same rallying cry in the regular season when quarterback Sam Darnold threw four interceptions in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams.“He’s our quarterback,” Jones said at the time. “We’ve got his back, and if you’ve got anything to say, quite frankly, fuck you.”At least he’s consistent.Ernest Jones grabs New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye during the Super Bowl.Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesClose
