The NFL suspended line judge Jeff Seeman for two games and referee Adrian Hill for one game due to unprofessional conduct towards players. Seeman was alleged to have swore at Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride during a game against the New York Giants, prompting criticism from NFL Players Association President JC Tretter. Hill's suspension follows an incident where he reportedly yelled at Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson. The league had not suspended any officials since 2018, making this punishment exceptionally rare, especially for two officials in the same week.
