The Arizona Cardinals lost their starting left tackle in the first half of their game against the Seattle Seahawks. D.J. Humphries did not get hurt. He was ejected.
It happened on what was a mess of a play.
Quarterback Josh Dobbs threw an interception in the end zone. However, Seattle was penalized for roughing the passer and for unnecessary roughness. Because Dobbs was hit hard, Humphries was upset. He attempted to take a swipe at a Seattle defender. He missed and ended up striking one of the game officials in the head.
It was an automatic ejection and gave the Cardinals a first-and-goal from the 25-yard line.
They scored on the next play when Dobbs ran 25 yards for the touchdown but they would go without Humphries the rest of the game. Kelvin Beachum replaced him in the lineup at left tackle.
