EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The NFL is looking into the circumstances of an official swearing at Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride during the team’s loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, league spokesperson Brian McCarthy told The Associated Press by email.
Line judge Jeff Seeman, the son of former NFL supervisor of officials Jerry Seeman, was caught on camera saying something to McBride along the Cardinals sideline that looked to include an expletive.
The NFL Referees Association did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
