We have our first ejection of the 2018 season, and unfortunately, it involves Bengals safety Shawn Williams.
The starting safety was tossed out of the Bengals’ Week 1 matchup with the Colts for an illegal hit on quarterback Andrew Luck. It happened on a third-down run by Luck, and as he was starting to slide, Williams launched right into Luck.
Initially, the referees only flagged Williams for unnecessary roughness. But after making the call, the referees gathered and decided to eject Williams from the game. The league office also weighed in.
