Midway through the 3rd quarter of the Jaguars-Bills on Sunday a fight broke out between the teams. It happened on a touchdown pass that was called as a touchdown but was almost intercepted. The two guys fought over the ball for the duration of the fight even after they called it a touchdown. Right after the ball was caught, Bills defender Shaq Lawson shoved Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde which caused Leonard Fournette to join the shoving. Before you knew it Leonard Fournette and Shaq Dawson were throwing haymakers at each other. Both players were ejected and the rest of there punishments are still pending. The Bills went on to win. See the fight here. Read the whole story here.
Do you think that the players should be fined for fighting like this?
I don't think they should be fined. They are big dudes that are playing a competetive game with emotions flaring. Basically they're going to fight so just let it go.
In the video, who do you think started the fight and who won?
I think Shaq Dawson started it but I do think the Jaguars won the battle.

Good job replying! I do think you could come up with a better questions. Your first is a yes/no question and your second is asking who they thought won the fight. Not really important and not the point.
not fined persay, but punished in some way. I believe it was the Bills who started it and the Jaguars who "won" it.
I agree but how else do they punish him besides fining him. They can't suspend him. And yes I agree that the Bills started and the Jags won.
FInes should not be a decision on the table. They were playing an intense game with all their emotions and senses at the max. A fight is bound to occur. I think they should jsut make up and drop even thinking of dropping charges or calling for fines.
I think that a small fine might even teach them there lesson but you are right emotions are high and fights will happen.
I don't think they should be fined but I think they should sit out for a couple games due to their attitude. They need to learn how to control themselves. I think Shaq started it but it was kind of hard because there could've been verbal arguments. In the video, it looked like Jaguars won the battle.
I think the exact opposite. I think they should be slightly fined and let to play again. It was a small fight and yes I agree the Jags won.
It depends on how bad the fight gets for me. If it is just a little pushing and shoving after the play or just a little trash talking, I'm okay with it. If it gets to the point that they are pulling of helmets and throwing punches I think they should get a little more of punishment. I don't know but Jaguar players have been part of some of the biggest fights in the last few years.
I agree. It was a short fight that was figured out quickly. And yea those Jags tempers are high.
