Panthers DL Vernon Butler loses mind, punches Colts TE Jack Doyle, gets ejected, flips off fans

What has Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle done to upset defenders around the NFL?

Earlier this season, Doyle was on the receiving end of a helmet-to-helmet hit that got Oakland Raiders linebacker Vontaze Burfict suspended for the year. Then on Sunday, Doyle got punched by Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Vernon Butler for no apparent reason at all.

At the end of a play Butler yanked on Colts lineman Mark Glowinski’s face mask, dragging him down and throwing him into Doyle, who seemed to be an innocent bystander. Butler then got up and punched Doyle right in the helmet.
