Members of the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots were reportedly fined for their roles in the end zone scuffle at the conclusion of last Sunday's Super Bowl.

As the Patriots were trying to run out the clock following the game-clinching interception by New England's Malcolm Butler, the teams became embroiled in a skirmish that featured Seattle's Bruce Irvin and New England's Rob Gronkowski.
