The NFL has suspended line judge Jeff Seeman for two games and referee Adrian Hill for one over separate incidents involving players during Sunday’s games, BBC Sport reports. [1]
Seeman appeared to swear at Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride after McBride complained that New York Giants cornerback Dru Phillips had interfered with him on an incomplete pass. The Cardinals lost 36–24 away to the Giants.
In Minnesota’s 15–10 home win over Miami, Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II pushed Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson into Hill after play had been stopped for a Minnesota penalty. As Wilson tried to help the referee up, Hill jumped up, pointed and shouted at him to move away. [1]
Wilson later said he apologised and that Hill understood what had happened. Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said on Monday that Seeman’s conduct could not happen, but asked that he be shown some grace. [1]
