Tramon Williams shoves referee (GIF)
Tramon Williams took some frustration out on a referee during the fourth quarter of the Detroit Lions’ beatdown of the Green Bay Pacers on Thanksgiving.
After Joique Bell scored on a 1-yard touchdown run to make it 33-10, Williams shoved a referee. It was a total jerk move by Williams and appeared to be done out of frustration. He was hit with a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, meaning the Lions kicked off from midfield.
FOX officiating expert Mike Pereira explained why Williams wasn’t ejected:
Those asking if Williams should have been ejected, it is not automatic. Up to the official. It was not flagrant in my book.

Who knows? Maybe Williams will be a hit with a small fine for that dumb act.
What a pathetic showing by the Lions defense. They didn’t get ANY help from the Packers offense, but that defense stunk too.
