The NFL suspends line judge Jeff Seeman for two games and referee Adrian Hill for one game for what it describes as unprofessional conduct toward players. The league issues the discipline after contentious on-field interactions in separate Week 4 games.
NBC News, Yahoo Sports, and Front Office Sports report that Seeman’s suspension follows an incident involving profanity directed toward a player, described in multiple accounts as directed at Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride. Fox Sports similarly reports that Seeman is captured on camera directing profanity at McBride during the Cardinals’ loss to the New York Giants.
For Hill, Yahoo Sports and NBC News say the suspension is tied to interactions with a player in another Week 4 game. Fox News and other coverage add detail that Hill confronts a player after being knocked down on the field. Across outlets, the central point is that both officials are disciplined by the league for separate incidents involving their conduct toward players, with Seeman receiving the longer suspension.
