Ref Spits Blood After Getting Hit in the Face By Jets Player

The New York Jets are having a rough Black Friday, as they're being dominated by the Miami Dolphins. There have been some crazy plays, including a pick-six on a Hail Mary, and things got worse when a Jets player hit an official in the face during a skirmish.

The incident came early in the fourth quarter with the Dolphins leading 27-6. The Dolphins scored a touchdown on a 13-yard Raheem Mostert run. Following a successful extra point try, the two teams began skirmishing and in the melee, Micheal Clemons hit umpire Cal Paganelli Jr. in the face. C.J. Mosley was flagged for unnecessary roughness for his post-play activities, while Clemons was flagged for "a foul against an official." Those two penalties were enforced together, so the Dolphins kicked off from the 50-yard line.

So yeah, things are going great for the Jets.
