NFL ref goes ballistic on Vikings Eric Wilson…
The refs had been the celebs of this late-afternoon matchup as Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson took an earful from referee Adrian Hill.
In Minnesota’s 15-10 win over Miami on Sunday, Hill berated Wilson for unintentionally bumping into him.
The knockdown occurred when Dolphins working back Ollie Gordon II shoved the linebacker on a third-down play that was blown useless because of an offsides penalty.

Hill didn’t flag Wilson but positively gave him a piece of his thoughts, telling him to go back to the huddle.
The NFL on Fox X account even caught sight of it and posted a video with the caption “an unintentional collision.” The video was up for around 20 minutes before being taken down.
Referees had been a mainstay Sunday as both groups mixed for 15 penalties in the first half, one flag shy of the season-high 16 set between Cincinnati and Jacksonville earlier in the afternoon.

The Vikings didn’t go away the sport in the refs’ arms as the league-leading protection confirmed up once again.
The Brian Flores-led unit held the Dolphins to 10 factors and less than 200 yards of offense. It also restricted Malik Willis to 77 yards through the air.
Minnesota received without getting into the end zone. This is the second time this season that the Vikings have pulled off such a feat. The Vikings keep atop the NFC North at 4-0.
