The headbutt should have been an ejection, no questions asked, period.
And if the coach were aware, he should have benched him. Sorry, just old school.

Sorry @Bigcountry40 I don't see it. What I see is the ref came up talking, it looks like the ref reached out and touched the player to get his attention. The player turned, recognized it was the ref, made eye contact with the ref, looked him up and down, made a statement arguing with the ref, then headbutted him. That was a deliberate movement. Even after his fellow players pushed him away he was still pissed off and running his mouth with zero remorse. I have zero dogs in this fight. His ass should have been ejected.
The only thing I can see is that's a very common thing to do to another player when they're in your face talking crap. A nice helmet to helmet bump as the players run their mouth. Pretty common actually. It could be a case of him being so used to doing it and his emotion being so high it was just a reflex. The fact remains he headbutted a ref and should have been tossed.

Had to jump in a plow truck before game ended. Listened on the radio. Got texts from my 77yr old mother, God bless her. Still taking care of her babies. 
First quarter was ugly. I'll say it again: Bo Jackson is something special. Heard Wests name a few times on radio but not sure how he did. Donaldson and Peoples might get playing time just to rest Jackson moving forward. Even in the red zone Donaldson doesn't impress me a lot.
Glad to see the outcome. Looking forward to watching a replay.

100% w/Ref! Minimal, Coach should have pulled him for a play. Leaving him in was the same as a cosign for the action. And it wouldn't matter which team he played for... I would feel the same way.
