Broncos' T.J. Ward ejected for throwing punch image

Broncos defensive back T.J. Ward was ejected Sunday after apparently throwing a punch at the Chiefs' Jeremy Maclin during the fourth quarter of Kansas City's 29-13 win over the Broncos.

In a game where Peyton Manning became the NFL's all-time leading passer, Manning and the Broncos played awful on both sides of the ball. Denver was trailing 22-0 when Alex Smith threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to Charcandrick West. As West entered the end zone, Ward knocked Maclin to the ground and appeared to punched him.

You can see the referee trailing the play immediately throw the flag. This is the second time in two weeks the Broncos lost and the second time in two weeks a Broncos defender has been caught doing something dirty with the team on the verge of defeat.

Aqib Talib, a Broncos cornerback, was suspended one game for poking the Colts' Dwayne Allen in the eye last week.
