Colts defensive end Jerry Hughes was furious after Sunday’s loss to the Dolphins, stemming from what he claims happened with a referee.
Hughes was seen going off in the tunnel on his way to the locker room, having some words with an official. He actually had to be restrained as he confronted the ref, claiming that the man called him a “b—h” during the game.
“You called me a b—h though! I’ll catch you!” Hughes yelled.

Hughes strangely denied that he yelled at the official after the game, when asked about it by reporters.

He can say all he wants, but it’s fairly obvious it was him in the video. We understand where he’s coming from, though, as he’s likely trying to avoid getting hit with a fine by the league.
As for the official, if he did say that to Hughes, then he was clearly out of line.
