As an NFL player, you can’t put your hands on an referee – no matter how gentle one might be. That’s something Minnesota Vikings defensive back Chris Cook learned this afternoon after he slightly pushed an official during the third quarter of the Vikings-Bears game.
Moments after Alshon Jeffery beat Cook (among others) on an impressive touchdown catch, Cook immediately rose up and began complaining to the official who was standing right next to the play.
Apparently suggesting he was pushed, Cook mimicked the move to the official who didn’t take so kindly and instantaneously threw a flag, resulting in Cook’s ejection.
It didn’t seem malicious from Cook, but rules are rules and we all know you can’t put your hands on a ref.
