Twitter thinks Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy should have been ejected during Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Buy Broncos TicketsIn the first half, the receiver berated and even made contact with an official, but he was not penalized. By NFL rules, the receiver could have been ejected for making contact with an official, but the receiver got away with it.
After the game, Jeudy said he was upset because he felt that he was held on the previous play. The receiver also admitted he needs to control his temper.
“I was just — on that certain play, I got held,” Jeudy explained. “I was just frustrated because we didn’t have things going, so I was out there playing with frustration wanting to make a play for my team. I feel like at that point, I was just held and that should’ve been called but I have to know how to control my anger and just move on from there.”
NFL fans were shocked Jeudy’s actions did not lead to an ejection.
Can’t believe he didn’t get ejected

I can't believe Jerry Jeudy wasn't flagged for his outburst. Took off his helmet, screamed, bumped an official. Easily could've been ejected, and instead wasn't flagged at all.

So Jerry Jeudy ran up screaming at an official and then made contact with him…and wasn’t ejected?

Remember when Steve Smith got ejected for respectfully touching and officials shoulder to get his attention then speaking to him just as respectfully https://t.co/aejSiTPC3d

Not sure how Jeudy avoided being ejected from bumping into an official here but that’s definitely going to be a fine from the league. Ooof https://t.co/S9PdQJ1wnh

Jeudy staying in the game turned out to be huge for Denver’s offense as he went on to score three touchdowns after that outburst. The three scores weren’t enough to pull off an upset win over the Chiefs, however, as the Broncos eventually lost 34-28.
