INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts linebacker Erik Walden was ejected from Sunday's 27-0 win against the Cincinnati Bengals for touching an official late in the second quarter.  Head linesman Bruce Stritesky had his arm on Walden when the linebacker swiped down to push it off of him. Under Section 3 "unsportsmanlike conduct" of the NFL rulebook, it states that any unnecessary physical contact with a game official may result in disqualification and discipline from the commissioner. Walden was suspended for a game last season for head butting a helmet-less Delanie Walker in a game against Tennessee. The play gave Cincinnati its initial first down of the half with 48 seconds to go. At halftime, Colts coach Chuck Pagano told a local radio station he thought it was accidental but that he had not seen it. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
