On Hart's ejection I went back and looked at the coaches film.  The clip ends before he makes contact with any official (he did block his man on the play with help from a chip by Gio btw).  He's walking off toward the sideline looking down into the endzone where the Bills are celebrating.  Not surprised that he might have bumped into an official but it would have been just an accident.  He wasn't being animated or aggressive with anyone.  Maybe he didn't see it was an official and gave it one of those reflexive push-offs when they run into each other.

I've seen a few of those too and "WTF?"d. Sometimes, that's the assignment, get to the second level and trust the back to make them miss. Sometimes it's a missed assignment and sometimes they're supposed to chip, then get to the second level. 

Always something though...
