Denver Broncos rookie running back Phillip Lindsay was ejected Sunday afternoon for throwing punches in the pile during a post-play scuffle with the Baltimore Ravens.

The incident came with 2:31 left in the first half and followed a strip sack by Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs. Broncos quarterback Case Keenum lost the ball, but Denver recovered. While multiple players were on the ground, a Ravens player appeared to be engaged with Lindsay, whose back was on the ground. Lindsay then retaliated by striking his arm out, though replay cameras showed that he may have been trying to get the Ravens player to let go of Lindsay’s jersey.

An official standing above Lindsay witnessed the incident and immediately threw a flag. Lindsay was called for unsportsmanlike conduct and drew Sunday’s second ejection.

Earlier in the afternoon, Dolphins defensive tackle Akeem Spence was ejected for ripping the helmet off of Raiders guard Kelechi Osemele.

Lindsay finished with 20 yards on four carries. The undrafted rookie out of Colorado had been one of the Broncos' early surprises, rushing for 178 yards on 29 carries in the first two weeks of the season.
