Not only do confrontations occur among fans in the stands, but occasionally, players engage in on-field altercations.
A brawl erupted in the second half of the Jets-Dolphins Black Friday matchup, resulting in a bloody incident involving an NFL referee and leading to the ejection of two players.
The scuffle unfolded following the extra point attempt following Raheem Mostert’s touchdown. In the midst of the skirmish, Jets defensive lineman Michael Clemons directed his arm towards one of the Dolphins’ offensive players.

In the process of pointing, Clemons inadvertently struck umpire Carl Paganelli in the face, causing Paganelli to spit out blood due to the impact.
Furthermore, Miami offensive lineman Austin Jackson was also ejected for his role in the altercation.
Despite the Jets displaying aggression after the whistle, the Dolphins maintained a firm grip on the game post-touchdown, leading New York 27-6. Miami appears poised to advance to an 8-3 record for the season.
