I was nervous about this, but this was great news today. They probably had a better view of what happened than the cell phone view it looked like what we saw in broadcast lol

Good news! There must've been some mitigating factor.

I am happy there was no suspension, but I am really curious as to why

can't recall the last time someone got bounced for contact with an official and wasn't punished later for that ejection ... he did bump the official, probably by accident as he was arguing with an opposing player ... but in most cases I can recall, accident or not, you're ejected and then more happens later

This is (now old) & great news!

As for Roquan Smith.. He's currently ranked 2nd in team tackles after starting only 3 NFL games in his rookie season.
Roquan will be an absolute beast mid~late season... Everyone needs to at least TRY to chill out on their unrealistic expectations.

Good. I thought the ejection was unnecessary.

watch the replay ... he did make voluntary contact with an official, and by the rules, that is an automatic ejection

Glad Hicks isn’t getting suspended.

As far as Roquan, I watched defensive clips from the Cardinals game from the all 22 shot...That kid can cover!

I might share it if it allowed more than one login at a time.

I've also found the quality to be shit if there's any sort of internet traffic when you want to watch a game.
