Los Angeles Rams linebacker Kenny Young was ejected during Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts after getting into a heated exchange with an official. 

Young was given an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and disqualified for making contact with an official late in the third quarter after getting too close to a ref, hitting his hat.

The Rams would push hard in the fourth quarter to win 27-24 over the Colts. Kicker Matt Gay's 38-yard field goal with a little over two minutes left in the game and Jalen Ramsey's interception just seconds later gave the Rams their second win of the season.
