Denver Broncos WR Tim Patrick, Las Vegas Raiders CB Isaiah Johnson ejected for fighting

LAS VEGAS -- Denver Broncos receiver Tim Patrick and Las Vegas Raiders cornerback Isaiah Johnson were both ejected early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game at Allegiant Stadium for fighting.

After a play in which Raiders slot cornerback Lamarcus Joyner was called for defensive holding against KJ Hamler, Raiders safety Johnathan Abram got in Patrick's face and pushed him. Patrick retaliated by punching Abram in the face mask before Johnson then punched Patrick.

The penalties were offsetting, so Joyner's holding call was wiped out as a result of no play in the game the Raiders went on to win 37-12.

Fines and suspensions for both players for throwing punches could be in the offing.
