Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Bryan Thomas Jr. have been fined by the NFL following their ejection from a Week 5 matchup that featured a physical altercation and ended with a dramatic Jacksonville victory. The league levied a $6,428 fine against Trotter and a $4,972 fine against Thomas, according to reports from Tom Pelissero. Both players were removed from the game after a scuffle that began during the opening kickoff and continued after the play was over.

While the on-field fight drew immediate attention, the final result belonged to the Jaguars, who overcame a three-point deficit with just eight seconds remaining to win 19-17 on a last-second field goal. The victory improved Jacksonville to 4-1, while Philadelphia dropped to 2-3.
