Rams linebacker Kenny Young was ejected from Sunday’s game against the Colts for making contact with an official. The ejection occurred late in the third quarter following a run for no gain by Jonathan Taylor in the red zone.
After the play, Young got into a heated exchange with an official, yelling in his face. He made contact with the brim of the official’s hat, which warrants automatic disqualification.
The Colts then taunted Young for getting penalized, which led to the official throwing a flag on Indianapolis, too. Aaron Donald attempted to calm Young down but his mistake had already been made.
