Earlier this week, Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree said he hadn’t heard from the league about a fine for his late hit on Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham that helped touch off a brawl that led to three ejections in the 37-27 Giants win.
Perhaps the fine letter was on Santa’s sleigh because Ogletree has been fined for the hit. PFT has confirmed with the league that Ogletree was fined $8,268 for hitting Beckham and taking him to the ground out of bounds, something the Giants took issue with in a way that led to punches being thrown. Giants wide receiver Preston Parker and defensive end Damontre Moore were ejected along with Rams defensive end William Hayes.
Hayes has been fined $10,000 for his actions, which is less than the $15,000 penalties handed down to each of the Giant miscreants. Beckham was also fined $10,000 for kicking at Ogletree during the mayhem on the sideline.
With Giants defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins and Rams defensive end Eugene Sims also drawing $16,537 fines for roughing the passer, the game wound up being a costly one for several players on both sides.
