Baltimore Ravens linebacker Matt Judon apologized for accidentally bumping into an official during his game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
Judon made contact with the official during a skirmish between the two teams. The linebacker was being held back by a coach and trying to pull free when he hit the referee on the arm.
“I would never intentionally make contact with an official," he said in a statement. "I was attempting to free my arm as I was being held back, and I inadvertently contacted the official’s arm.”

“My emotions were running high in the moment and I take full responsibility for what happened," he said. I need to do a better job of keeping my cool and not doing anything that negatively affects my team.”
Judon did not record a tackle in the game. He may face discipline from the NFL.
He came into the game with two sacks, a forced fumble and 18 tackles on the season. He was a Pro Bowler for the first time in 2019. Last season, he recorded 9.5 sacks, four forced fumbles and 54 tackles – all of which were career highs.
