Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco faced the ejection after throwing a punch against Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon on Sunday (Dec. 3). The incident happened with only a minute left on the clock in the game.
The Chiefs were at 1st-and-10 at the Packers' 45 when quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw a pass to wide receiver Rashee Rice. The WR caught it at exactly 10 yards but the ball popped out of his hand after being tackled. Packers CB Corey Ballentine recovered the ball, ran for a pick-six and scored.

The game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles also saw a heated moment with 49ers linebacker Dre Greelaw and Eagles staff Dom DiSando being ejected. The incident happened in the second half when DiSando, aka Big Dom, confronted Greenlaw during a play review.
The 49ers were handed a 15-yard penalty after LB Greenlaw slammed Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith to the ground post whistle. It happened near the Eagles sidelines and Big Dom came onto the ground to have a word with the LB. Greenlaw didn't seem happy with whatever was said to him and made contact with Big Dom's face. Both were ejected by the officials after the incident.
