NFL suspends two referees after on-field incidents with players

Line judge Jeff Seeman has been suspended for two games after cameras appeared to show him shouting profanities at Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride. Referee Adrian Hill has been given a one-game ban for his interaction with Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson, who accidentally collided with Hill and tried to help him off the ground.

NFL vice president of officiating Ramon George issued the suspensions "for an instance of unprofessional conduct toward a player," the leauge said.

NFL line judge Jeff Seeman (45) looks on during the first half of a game between the New England Patriots and the Los Angeles Rams at Gillette Stadium. NFL Players' Association executive director JC Tretter wrote on social media that the behavior displayed by Seeman was "unprofessional." The league responded by saying it was looking into the matter and came to the decision within 24 hours.
