In light of recent on-field skirmishes on game days, the NFL sent a memo to teams this week warning against altercations and fighting before and during games.<\/p>\n

“Sportsmanship and respect are at the core of NFL football,” the memo read, in part, “and fighting is irreconcilable with these values.”<\/p>\n

The NFL added that it intended to “strongly enforce” its game day policies on fighting, reiterating that teams are required to warm up within their own 45-yard lines prior to kickoff and that violations of this policy will result in potential penalties against the club or players.<\/p>\n

Players or team personnel involved in fighting could be subject to disqualification, fines and\/or suspension, the memo warned. In addition, clubs whose players or personnel are involved in a fight are subject to forfeiture of draft picks and\/or a significant fine.<\/p>\n

The league added that it will continue to review video footage if violations of its fighting policies are identified.<\/p>\n

Examples of recent fighting on game days include the Browns and 49ers scuffling before their Week 6 contest in Cleveland; a third-quarter back-and-forth between the Giants and Bills during Sunday Night Football;<\/em> and altercations between \ufeffOdell Beckham\ufeff and \ufeffJeffery Simmons\ufeff during last week’s Ravens-Titans game in London. Four players from the New York-Buffalo fight were each fined $10,927 for unnecessary roughness, while Beckham was fined $33,317 and Simmons was fined $11,473 for similar violations, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported Saturday.<\/p>\n
