New York Giants left tackle James Hudson became the first player in NFL history to commit four separate penalties on the same drive. The 6-foot-5, 313-pound offensive lineman was benched for his actions.

He was not ejected.

The NFL continues to allow its players to slap an opponent with an open hand. This is the second week in a row that a player was not thrown out of the game for making contact to the head of an opponent because he did not use a closed fist.

NFL players will get fined but not ejected.

Teair Tart smacked Travis Kelce in the helmet with an open hand last week. It was flagged accordingly but the Los Angeles Chargers defensive lineman was allowed to stay in the game.
