2 Raiders, 1 Bengal ejected for on-field brawl
CINCINNATI — Left tackle Andrew Whitworth saw his quarterback get tackled after the whistle and went after the guy who brought him down, touching off a scrum that ended with three ejections.
Whitworth and two Oakland linemen face significant fines for their ejection during the fourth quarter of the Cincinnati Bengals’ 34-10 victory over the Raiders on Sunday.
“They were probably looking for a fight because they weren’t doing much on the field,” Whitworth said.
The Raiders (3-8) were frustrated after an inadvertent wiped out a fumble by Mohamed Sanu deep in Bengals territory with Cincinnati leading 27-10 midway through the fourth quarter. Tyvon Branch picked up the loose ball ran into the end zone, thinking he’d scored a touchdown.
