Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid was ejected after a “late” hit of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger on Thursday Night Football. Roethlisberger slide kind of late and Reid launched, it should’ve been a 15 yard penalty because they protect the quarterback, but he shouldn’t have been ejected from the game. There was no helmet to helmet contact, but we all know Reid has a target on his back.
Check the play out and do you agree with the ejection?
