Cowboys Rookie Donovan Ezeiruaku Ejected in Week 18 for Ripping Giants Lineman’s Helmet Off

No additional discipline had been announced by the league at the time of publication.

Overview

  • The ejection occurred early in the third quarter shortly after a 13-yard Giants touchdown at MetLife Stadium.
  • Video showed Ezeiruaku grabbing Greg Van Roten’s facemask and yanking off the guard’s helmet during a skirmish.
  • Officials also penalized Cowboys defensive tackle Quinnen Williams for unnecessary roughness during the sequence.
  • Play resumed with a successful two-point pass from Devin Singletary to Darius Slayton that put New York up 24-10.
  • The 22-year-old second-round pick from Boston College had one tackle on the day and finished his rookie season with 40 tackles and two sacks in a game between teams already out of playoff contention.
