I think the Seahawks fans in the stadium saw it the way you did. It’s a penalty if you drive the qb into the ground, but they didn’t do that here. It looked clean to me.
I am pretty sure they put in a rule against slamming down QBs after Doug Flutie got slammed on the ground during a sack in San Diego way back in 90s I think. I don’t think he played another game after that.
Yeah I forgot the years (just looked up. 2001) but after that year (after that game) he was pretty much done. He was too little the linemen too big and they tossed him around and slammed him on the field like a ragdoll. He was a tough MF to still be able to function after those punishments.

Not sure about the rule, but I know Flutie played in this game (after the 90’s)
