WATCH: Multiple Players Ejected After Dolphins-Bengals Brawl

The Bengals and the Dolphins entered Sunday’s game with no obvious signs of ill-will towards each other. However, that would not last.

The trouble started when Bengals wide receiver Mike Thomas hit Dolphins punt returner, Jakeem Grant before he had an opportunity to catch the ball. The play resulted in a kick catch interference penalty against Thomas. Though, the Bengals player was not ejected from the game.

“Bengals safety Shawn Williams and Dolphins wide receivers DeVante Parker and Mack Hollins were ejected for their roles in the brawl,” CBS Sports reported.

Cincinnati’s William Thomas also received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

The Dolphins won the game, 19-7.
