The NFL has suspended line judge Jeff Seeman for two games and referee Adrian Hill for one game as punishment for instances of unprofessional conduct toward a player. NFL Vice President of Officiating Ramon George issued the suspensions.
Seeman was caught on camera apparently cursing at Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride during Sunday's 36-24 loss to the New York Giants. McBride felt he had been interfered with by Giants cornerback Dru Phillips on a third-and-8 pass from quarterback Jacoby Brissett that fell incomplete. After the incident, NFLPA Executive Director J.C. Tretter posted a statement on X calling for officials to receive the same level of scrutiny as players.
Hill's incident involved Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson in their 15-10 win over the visiting Miami Dolphins. Wilson was pushed into Hill by Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II after a play was whistled dead. Wilson said he laughed off the incident with Hill. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell defended Hill as a good official.
