Browns safety Ronnie Harrison ejected after stomping on an opposing player and shoving a coach

Cleveland Browns safety Ronnie Harrison only played in 10 minutes of his team's season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs after getting into an altercation with a coach on the Kansas City sideline. After chasing down running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire for a tackle, Harrison was pushed by Chiefs assistant coach Greg Lewis to get Harrison off of Edwards-Helaire. Harrison responded with a shove of his own.

Another video angle showed that Harrison had shoved his cleat onto Edwards-Helaire while on the ground, prompting Lewis' shove. On the field, referees initially called a 15-yard penalty against the Chiefs bench for unsportsmanlike conduct, leaving the Kansas City sideline fuming.

But before the game moved on, replay officials called down to correct the call, opting instead for off-setting penalties and an ejection for Harrison.

The league could also potentially fine Harrison later in the week in addition to his ejection.

1. The coach was out of line. No excuse for the retaliation though, imo.

2. "The coach was out of line."

I guess this pissed off the coach:

3. I didn't see it as shoving his cleat into Edwards...

It appeared to me he was in the process of moving out of the way and he seemed to have the bulk of his weight on his left leg while lifting his right when the coach pushed him. Players get stepped on all the time. Its football for chrissakes. I'll watch it again.

4. Looked to me like Harrison was leaving the situation

when No. 52 got in his way causing him to lose his balance and step back onto Edwards-Helaire. Then the coach shoved Harrison, then Harrison shoved the coach.

5. That's what I saw, too.
