Buffalo defensive end Jerry Hughes was fined $53,482 by the NFL on Saturday for confronting an official in the tunnel after the Bills-Dolphins game last weekend. Hughes accused the official of calling him a vulgar name.
'I'll catch you. I'll catch you, guaranteed,' Hughes shouted, waving his index finger, as he was pulled away by Bills officials. Hughes later declined to elaborate on the reason for his anger, saying, 'I lost the game, so I am supposed to be angry.'
As he shouts, Bills personnel and his teammates hurry in to escort him in the opposite direction.
Buffalo Bills defensive end Jerry Hughes was caught on camera in the tunnel, confronting a referee for allegedly calling him a 'b**ch' on the field during last Sunday's game
Hughes' teammate and Bills personnel quickly intervened and directed him away from the refs
While Hughes storms to the locker room, he can also be heard saying, 'I'm going to knock his ass out when I see him. I'm going to hurry up and get dressed. He called me a b**ch.'
Despite the incident having been caught on camera, Hughes later calmly denied that he confronted the ref when speaking with reporters.
'Who did? I did what?' Hughes said, according to ESPN. 'What did I say? If I did go up to the official, what did I say?'
He then said that he 'would love to see the video,' when informed that one existed and didn't 'recall' having been called a 'b**ch' during the game, according to the Democrat & Chronicle.
He also said that the officiating during the game had been 'fair' and that the Bills 'had our opportunities to make plays and the ball just rolled in their favor.'
USA Today reported that Hughes was shouting at referee Roy Ellison, who had previously been suspended for one game without pay for 'making a profane and derogatory statement' to Washington Redskins offensive tackle Trent Williams during a 2013 game.
He was later restrained by a team staff member and a teammate as he continued to shout at the official, 'I'll catch you!'
Williams claimed that after the game, in which the Redskins lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, Ellison had called Williams a 'garbage [expletive], disrespectful [expletive],' according to a Washington Post report at the time.
The league also fined Tennessee left tackle Taylor Lewan $26,739 for yelling at referee Jerome Boger and his crew after the Jets-Titans game.
And in a rare move, the NFL fined one of its head coaches for arguing with officials, docking the 49ers' Kyle Shanahan $25,000 for his unsportsmanlike conduct last week against Seattle.
Shanahan was flagged for arguing after Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson tossed the lost shoe of San Francisco linebacker Fred Warner to the side after a play. Seattle then went hurry-up offensively and the 49ers were caught offsides as Warner tried to exit the field and a replacement was late making the substitution.
'It wasn't a smart thing by me and something I can't do,' Shanahan told reporters Monday.

When speaking to reporters later in the day, Hughes (pictured last Sunday) denied that the incident occurred and claimed to have no memory of having been called a 'b**ch'
Fines of $26,739 for unnecessary roughness were levied against Dallas' Jaylon Smith (helmet-to-helmet hit) and Jatavis Brown of the Chargers.
Receiving $20,054 fines were Ndamukong Suh of the Rams for a horse collar tackle, the Lions' Ezekiel Ansah for an illegal hit on the quarterback, Za'Darius Smith of the Ravens for roughing the passer and Bears quarterback Chase Daniel for a horse collar tackle on an interception.
Three players received $13,369 fines for unsportsmanlike conduct: Kansas City's Eric Murray, Oakland's Jared Cook and Atlanta's Vic Beasley Jr., for dunking the football over the crossbar.
Malcolm Smith of San Francisco was fined $10,026 for unnecessary roughness. Two Jacksonville Jaguars players, C.J. Reavis (unnecessary roughness) and Ronnie Harrison (taunting) also were fined that amount.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
