St. Louis Rams, New York Giants mix it up on the sidelines
They may not be going to the playoffs, but the St. Louis Rams and the New York Giants still have plenty of fight left in them.
A sideline brawl in the Giants’ 37-27 win on Sunday in St. Louis resulted in four ejections.
The trouble started late in the first half when Rams linebacker Alec Ogletree hit New York rookie receiver Odell Beckham Jr. out of bounds on the Giants sideline.
Ogletree then knocked Beckham down when he tried to get up.
Fisticuffs ensued.
Emotions may have been heated on the field, but Twitter enjoyed the fight.
that @STLouisRams @Giants brawl was very entertaining "you're not gonna be in the playoffs" "no you're not gonna be in the playoffs "

No wonder the Rams were mad.
