Redskins vs. Steelers: DeAngelo Hall Ejected after Confrontation with Referee

Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall was ejected from Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers after a confrontation with a referee.

According to Tarik El-Bashir of CSN Washington, Hall's aggravation could've come from a previous play.

Hall is one of the most experienced players on the Redskins defense, and his unacceptable behavior during Sunday's game will certainly be addressed by his coaches. 

Leadership is imperative on a team such as Washington, and Hall needs to avoid actions like this if he wants to continue being a leader in the locker room going forward.

Hall, a nine-year veteran, has notched 37 interceptions in his career, including two this season. He entered Sunday's game with 48 tackles on the season.

The 28-year-old out of Virginia Tech will undoubtedly have some explaining to do to his coaches following Sunday's game. Punishment from the league will likely come, as physical confrontation with a referee is a sensitive subject in all professional sports.
