As the Minnesota Vikings hosted the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon, one Vikings defender appeared to significantly upset the head official in the game.
Linebacker Eric Wilson was involved in a play, that was eventually called dead, which resulted in official Adrian Hill getting pushed to the ground. As a result, Hill was angry at Wilson for his involvement in the play, leading to a strange exchange between the two sides.
Officials don't usually get angry with players, so this moment stood out as it as Hill who was the frustrated one instead of the player. Here's a look at what happened.

Adrian Hill upset by collision with Eric Wilson
On a strange play early in the game, head official Adrian Hill accidentally collided with Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson as the officials blew the play dead. Wilson was being blocked by a Dolphins player thinking the play was live, and he was pushed into Hill who then fell to the ground.
As Wilson went to help Hill off the ground, Hill was frustrated at Hill and vehemently directed Wilson to get back to his side of the field.
Quite the reaction from referee Adrian Hill. https://t.co/lmNdNd3AkC
