| 24th November, 2007 - 8:42 pm |  ESPN - Cleveland Browns' tailback Jamal Lewis and Baltimore Ravens' nose tackle Haloti Ngata have been fined $5,000 each for their actions in last week's game between the two teams.
Both incidents occurred in the first quarter of the Browns' 33-30 overtime victory.
The first came less than two minutes into the contest when Ngata punched Cleveland rookie left offensive tackle Joe Thomas following a Baltimore fumble recovery.
Browns' wide receiver Braylon Edwards fumbled after a 6-yard catch, and the ball was recovered by Ravens' middle linebacker Ray Lewis, who was tackled by Thomas at the Baltimore 45-yard line. But Ngata felt Thomas intentionally went for Lewis' knees and slugged the rookie tackle.
Ngata was penalized 15 yards for a personal foul and acknowledged after the game that he expected to be fined. [READ] |
