Lions LB Jamie Collins ejected for bizarre head-butt of official (video)

Officials ejected Detroit Lions linebacker Jamie Collins on Sunday for making contact with an official in a game against the Chicago Bears.

The incident happened early in the second quarter as the game was tied at 3-3. Collins lowered his head and made contact with an official, who immediately threw an unsportsmanlike contact flag and ejected Collins.

It wasn’t a violent or malicious incident. But it was clearly illegal contact with an official.

What was Collins doing?

The incident occurred following a 16-yard run by Bears running back David Montgomery.
