NFL Suspends Two Officials Over Conduct Toward Players
By Rhyter Times Desk · 2h ago
The NFL has handed down suspensions to two game officials following interactions with players, according to reports from ESPN and NBC Sports. Line judge Jeff Seeman has received a two-game suspension, while referee Adrian Hill has been suspended for one game.
Details reported by ESPN indicate that Seeman's discipline stems from an occasion where he appeared to direct profanity at Cardinals tight end Trey McBride. Hill's separate one-game suspension occurred in connection with an incident during a game in which the Vikings defeated the Dolphins.
