Summary
Jeff Seeman drew a two-game suspension after cameras caught the line judge cursing at Cardinals tight end Trey McBride late in Arizona’s 36-24 loss to the Giants.
The exchange came with under five minutes left after officials did not call pass interference or illegal contact on a third-and-2 throw from Jacoby Brissett to McBride.
JC Tretter, the NFL Players Association’s executive director, called the behavior unacceptable and said officials should face the same accountability players do.
Adrian Hill also was suspended one game for unprofessional conduct after yelling at Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson in the Miami-Minnesota game.
Roy Ellison’s prior discipline in 2013 and 2018 shows the league has previously punished officials for profane or derogatory remarks toward players.
