It didn’t take long for the league to notice the reports that a game official cursed at Redskins tackle Trent Williams.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy tells PFT the league will look into it, and there should be sufficient evidence. With guard Kory Lichtensteiger miked up for the game, and saying he heard the exchange, there could reasonably be audio of the conversation.

And if the officials don’t have anything to worry about, they have a funny way to show it.

A pool reporter attempted to ask referee Walt Coleman about the incident after the game, but Coleman didn’t respond, and apparently directed the driver of the bus he was in to roll up the window and drive away, according to the Washington Post.
