NFL Referees Association to Challenge Officials’ Suspensions

The NFL Referees Association has announced it will challenge the NFL's suspensions of two officials who had on-field confrontations with players over the weekend. Line judge Jeff Seeman will miss two games and referee Adrian Hill will serve one. The NFL Referees Association deemed the suspensions "excessive" and inconsistent with past NFL precedent.

NFL officials said the suspensions were for unprofessional conduct toward players during Sunday's games. The NFLRA says it will meet with the NFL Officiating Department to discuss the league's disciplinary standards and also plans to meet with NFL Players Association leadership to address on-field conduct.
