The NFL has suspended two officials for unprofessional conduct toward players during Week 4 games. Referee Adrian Hill was suspended for one game following an incident with Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson during Minnesota's win over Miami, per ESPN. Line judge Jeff Seeman received a two-game suspension, according to multiple outlets.
Seeman's suspension stems from an on-field incident involving Cardinals tight end Trey McBride. ESPN reported that Seeman appeared to swear at McBride during the Cardinals-Giants game. CBS Sports noted that these suspensions represent a punishment the league has not used in eight years, underscoring the rarity of officials facing such discipline. The NFL's vice president of officiating, Ramon George, issued both suspensions for what the league described as instances of unprofessional conduct toward players.
