The veteran offensive lineman was on the ground when\u00a0Chiefs\u00a0safety\u00a0Bryan Cook\u00a0came over to him and took a swipe at his facemask.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Williams responded by hopping to his feet and taking a big shot at Cook. He punched Cook in the back of the helmet, drawing a flag and resulting in his dismissal from the game.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Trent Williams has been ejected after this. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CDBu1hRUeu\">pic.twitter.com\/CDBu1hRUeu<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NFLonFOX\/status\/1848140945901916576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 20, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The NFL considers punch to be a \u201cprohibited act,\u201d which is viewed as a form of unsportsmanlike conduct, per\u00a0the league\u2019s rulebook. NFL officials are allowed to disqualify players for \u201cflagrant\u201d acts if seen by the on-field officials or replay official, which explains why Williams was ejected from the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Cook was not penalized for his role in the incident.
