John Henderson Takes 10 Jaguars Down With Him

Yeah, I looked it up later last night. 18 players total got fined for the event. And, like I said, Rashean Mathis just ran over to the fight in that shot. I can't even SEE 10 Bengals in that shot.

It really shouldn't have happened but seriously there was no way 18 guys were involved.

Ridiculous -- and I said as much over on stripehype. Yes, every Bengal on the field except for QB Ryan Fitzpatrick got fined. I'm surprised the league front office hasn't sent fine notices out to all the fans sitting at field level. After all, weren't they "in the area of the fight" too? Roger Goodell: Worst. Commissioner. Ever.

I couldn't decide if Henderson was gouging out his eyes or holding onto his face with his giant hands. It wasn't appropriate, especially because there wasn't a helmet on the Bengals guy. However, I am obviously bias but it just looks like it was the fault of both men, not just Henderson. Something HAD to trigger it, right? Also, I can completely understand why something like that would happen in a game like football and I am honestly surprised it doesn't happen more often.

Rugby is an intense game. I know several people who played it at my university and they were awesome guys. The were HUGE and look like typical jock types but they were super smart. I have a high opinion of Rugby players because of them.

DJ, I agree. They were obviously trying to break up the fight because those tiny refs wouldn't be able to take on the giant linemen. But Del Rio said that the men knew that the cost of going over there would be a fine. I am sure they can appeal it. I know Whitworth is appealing his fine right now.

if you look at the video with more attention you can see that henderson doesn't really punch. However another player does it pretty roughly! but seriously, there's not a lot of fight in the NFL and I don't think it should be such a big deal. I play rugby and it is way more common and kind of part of the fun! I actually enjoy that part of the Bengals/Jags game!

This is really interesting. I've never quite looked at the NFL rule book like this. If the rest of the 10 get fined, the stuff will hit the fan, in my opinion.
