In the fourth quarter of yesterday's Lions-Bears game in Chicago, Bears cornerback Tim Jennings intercepted a pass from Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford.
During the runback by Jennings, Bears cornerback D.J. Moore was blocking Stafford downfield when Stafford grabbed Moore by the helmet and pulled Moore down to the ground. After Moore got up, he went after Stafford, starting a brawl between the Lions and Bears.
Moore received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and was ejected from the game. However, Moore was in good spirits as he left the field, as the Bears were winning handily and were able to ride out the 37-13 victory.
UPDATE: The NFL has fined D.J. Moore $15,000 and Matthew Stafford $7,500 for this incident.
