The NFL has suspended two officials for instances of unprofessional conduct towards a player.

Line judge Jeff Seeman has been suspended for two games and referee Adrian Hill for one fixture following the incidents on Sunday.

Seeman was caught on camera seeming to curse at Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride, whose side lost 36-24 away to the New York Giants.

McBride felt he had been interfered with by Giants cornerback Dru Phillips from a pass from Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett that fell incomplete.

Having been hit, McBride complained to Seeman, who appeared to yell a profanity at McBride.

“It’s a tough one for me. You hate to see it for obvious reasons. I don’t need to go further than that, but I do want to give the man a little bit of grace too,” Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said Monday.

“I know Jeff. He’s a good man. It’s unfortunate it happened. It can’t happen obviously and I’ll leave it at that.”

Hill’s incident involved linebacker Eric Wilson, who featured for Minnesota Vikings as they defeated the visiting Miami Dolphins 15-10.

Wilson was pushed into Hill by Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II midway through the first quarter after a play was whistled dead because of a Minnesota penalty.
