Oakland Raiders Football Player Richard Seymour Ejected for Punching Pittsburgh Steelers Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Raiders defensive end Richard Seymour has been ejected for an openhanded punch to Ben Roethlisberger’s face as the Steelers quarterback was celebrating a touchdown pass.

After completing the 22-yard throw to Emmanuel Sanders, Roethlisberger jumped into the arms of tackle Flozell Adams. Roethlisberger then began walking forward and appeared to say something to Seymour, who turned and struck the quarterback in the jaw with his open right hand.
