The NFL announced that it had fined two Cincinnati Bengals and a Jacksonville Jaguar player $5,000 each for a fight at the end of their Nov. 26 game. Cincinnati receivers Carl Pickens and Darnay Scott and Jacksonville cornerback Vinnie Clark were penalized. Pickens went after Jacksonville safety Harry Colon when Colon tackled him after Pickens caught the game-winning pass in the end zone with 17 seconds left. Scott fought with Clark at about the same time. Colon was not fined.
