NFL suspends two officials after profane incidents in Week 4

The National Football League announced on Monday that line judge Jeff Seeman and referee Adrian Hill have been suspended for inappropriate conduct during Week 4.

Seeman received a two‑game ban after he swore at Arizona tight end Trey McBride following a disputed pass‑interference call. Hill was handed a one‑game suspension for yelling at Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson and gesturing for him to leave the field after a collision.

The disciplinary action comes amid a weekend of high‑profile profanity on the field, including exchanges between quarterback Aaron Rodgers and coach Mike McCarthy, and a heated confrontation involving San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw and Broncos head coach Sean Payton.

Greenlaw, who rejoined the 49ers last season, was noted for repeatedly pointing and shouting at Payton after the 49ers’ 24‑14 victory over Denver. Payton later said he held no issue with Greenlaw’s conduct.

The NFL emphasised that officials, like players, must maintain professional behaviour, and warned that further breaches could result in additional penalties.
