Giants-Rams fight after late hit; 3 ejected
Three players were ejected from Sunday’s Giants-Rams game after a late hit on Odell Beckham Jr. led to a fight between the teams.
Beckham caught a pass on 1st-and-10 in the second quarter and took it out of bounds for six yards. Rams LB Alec Ogletree forced him out and then finished his tackle of Beckham out of bounds. Beckham responded by throwing the ball at Ogletree, who gave Beckham a push in response.
Had matters stopped there, the Rams probably would have just been penalized 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct. However, a few Giants jumped in, leading to two unnecessary roughness penalties for New York, pushing them back to the 13.
The Rams’ William Hayes and Preston Parker and Damontre Moore of the Giants got thrown out for their roles in the fight. This was the second time in the game the Rams were penalized for a hit out of bounds on Beckham.
