NFL reviewing incident between Vikings' Eric Wilson and ref Adrian Hill
An odd incident took place during Sunday's Vikings-Dolphins game when referee Adrian Hill got knocked to the ground and then got in the face of Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson.
During Sunday's Vikings-Dolphins game, referee Adrian Hill was knocked to the ground by Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon, who was attempting to block Wilson after the play had been stopped. In the aftermath, Hill got up and confronted Wilson, yelling at him and pointing him back to his huddle. Hill did not issue a penalty, but his actions raised concerns among viewers, many of whom believed he overreacted by yelling at Wilson.
Wilson later commented on the incident, stating that he found it amusing and apologized to Hill, explaining the situation. The player assured Hill that he and Ollie Gordon were not trying to fight, but merely breaking up the altercation. The NFL is currently reviewing the incident in question, according to ESPN.
This altercation was not an isolated incident on Sunday, as several other confrontations occurred between players and officials. For instance, official Jeff Seeman made obscene gestures at Cardinals tight end Trey McBride, while Patriots coach Mike Vrabel was penalized for using an obscene word towards an official.
