Boyd was caught on camera ripping his helmet off, storming to the sidelines and almost knocking special teams coach Ross to the ground. His actions sparked fury from viewers with many fans calling for him to be immediately cut from the team, and while he has avoided that fate he has now been handed a stern punishment from the league.

Kris Boyd shockingly shoved his own coordinator Frank Ross after an early penalty last week. Houston Texans star Boyd has since revealed he's been the target of racist abuse on Instagram. He shared a screenshot of a private message from an anonymous user, which read: 'Stupid a** n****r.'.
And he insisted that it wasn't a one-off occasion as he wrote: 'This been every second since last night up to today... Not looking for sincerity. God got me...'. 'The world is wicked, but I'll be the example to still shine love and light no matter the circumstances... Adapt the ways of the spirit and christ. Not the flesh,' he added, alongside two praying emojis.
