The referees in the NFL might be losing their patience. Well, at least one.

During the game on Sunday between the Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins, referee Adrian Hill was involved in an incident with Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson.

Hill fell to the ground after what appeared to be an unintentional collision. However, Hill wasn’t too happy and got right in Wilson’s face after being brought back to his feet.

Wilson looked to go down and try to help Hill up, but the referee got right in his face and yelled at him after the play.

Hill had to get up and make a call due to what looked to be a penalty on the play for something else, but Vikings fans sure seemed to be showering in boos, for some reason.
