NFL Ref Had Priceless Reaction After Hitting a Bengals Player by Mistake

The Bengals beat the Bills, 24-18, on Sunday night in what was a physical game between two of the best teams in the AFC. Cincinnati is now 5-3 on the year, while Buffalo fell to 5-4.

The physicality was not just limited to the players, however, as referee Alex Kemp hilariously hit Bengals WR Tee Higgins in the face mask while making a call in the second quarter.

Higgins was walking by Kemp when the exchange happened, and Kemp was quick with a very polite message about how sorry he was for his mistake. 

This was pretty funny moment in a very serious football game: 

"Sorry about that..." 🤣🤣🤣
