Bill Belichick questions why T.Y. Hilton wasn't ejected from Patriots-Colts game for contact with official

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Monday that Indianapolis Colts receiver T.Y. Hilton should have been ejected from Saturday's game for pushing an official to the ground, and questioned the NFL's officiating department why he wasn't.

Belichick was speaking for the first time since having a chance to review his team's 27-17 loss to the Colts, and had been asked about the third-quarter ejections of Patriots safety Kyle Dugger and Colts receiver Michael Pittman.

Dugger and Pittman scrapped after a running play, and soon enough, it became a larger scrum.
