The NFL has suspended line judge Jeff Seeman for two games after he was caught on camera cursing at Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride during their loss to the New York Giants. Arizona coach Mike La Fleur expressed disappointment but also offered grace, stating Seeman is a good man and the incident should not have happened. The incident drew criticism from JC Tretter, executive director of the NFL Players Association, who called the behavior unacceptable and emphasized that players are consistently held accountable.
The interaction occurred with under five minutes left in the game, following a missed penalty call on New York’s Dru Phillips. The Giants won 36-24, with Deonte Banks securing a pick-six as time expired. In a separate incident, referee Adrian Hill was suspended one game for unprofessional conduct during the Miami-Minnesota game.
The suspensions were issued by Ramon George, the NFL’s vice president of officiating. This is not the first time an official has been disciplined for on-field conduct; umpire Roy Ellison was fined and suspended in 2018 and again in 2013 for similar violations.
