NFL hands out fines for Giants-Rams skirmish

Five players received fines from the NFL for taking part in a sideline brawl during last week's game between the New York Giants and St. Louis Rams at the Edward Jones Dome.

A melee on the Giants' bench ensued after Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree delivered a late hit on New York wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. late in the first half, leading to ejections for Giants wideout Preston Parker and teammate Damontre Moore as well as St. Louis defensive end William Hayes.
