On Thursday night, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears faced off at Soldier Field on ESPN and there was an unfortunate moment for one of the referees.
After a play came to an end, Jaguars cornerback Dwayne Gratz and Bears wide receiver Josh Bellamy started jawing back and forth when Bellamy flipped the ball towards Gratz. Unfortunately for the ref, his face is what stopped the ball before it fell to the ground.
Here is the video:
The Bears currently trail the Jaguars by a score of 13-7, while a referee has a nice red mark on his face thanks to Bellamy’s little flick of the ball.
That is why you need to keep your head on a swivel when you are out on the field.
This is just further proof that the players aren’t the only ones out on the NFL field that still have some work to do before getting into regular season form.
