What happened: The NFL suspended referee Adrian Hill one game and line judge Jeff Seeman two games for unprofessional conduct toward players in Sunday games. Hill confronted Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson after being knocked to the ground, without a flag on the play. Seeman directed profanity at Cardinals tight end Trey McBride after McBride protested a missing pass-interference call in Arizona's 36-24 loss to the Giants.

Why it matters: On-field discipline of officials is rare, putting the league's accountability standard in focus. The NFL Players Association publicly condemned Seeman's language toward McBride. Both crews now require replacements for Week 5 assignments.

By the numbers: Hill: 1-game suspension; Seeman: 2-game suspension. Vikings 15, Dolphins 10; Giants 36, Cardinals 24. Wilson: 10th NFL season; 115 tackles and 6.5 sacks in 17 games in 2025.

What to watch: The league will assign replacement officials for Hill's and Seeman's Week 5 games. Watch for additional conduct guidance to officiating crews.
