Giants' Richburg 1st player ejected for 2 unsportsmanlike conduct penalties

New York Giants center Weston Richburg became the first player to be ejected for receiving two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties during Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins.

Richburg was dismissed during the fourth quarter after hitting Redskins cornerback Josh Norman, ostensibly defending teammate Odell Beckham Jr.

It's the first instance of a player being sent off for two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties since the rule was added earlier this year. It grained traction among owners after Beckham took several penalties in a 2015 game against the Carolina Panthers.
