I admit it looks bad at first glance, but I have a really hard time believing it was intentional. This would be COMPLETELY out of character for Wideman. He's not known as a dirty player or an agitator, and why would anyone hit a linesman? It just doesn't make sense. Also if you watch his feet right before he hits him he turns them to the right. He doesn't just plow straight through him. If I had to guess he was opening and closing his eyes and/or looking down not really paying attention. No one with half a brain would do anything like that, especially someone like Wideman.
