Panthers' Reid ejected for late helmet hit on Roethlisberger

Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid was ejected from Thursday's game after delivering a late hit to the helmet of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Several members of the Steelers' offensive line came to their quarterback's defense, leading to a brief scuffle between the two teams.

As Reid was sent from the field, the veteran defensive back made sure to apologize for his ill-timed hit.
