Dallas Cowboys' Kelvin Joseph, Las Vegas Raiders' Roderic Teamer ejected from Thanksgiving game after sideline scuffle

7:44 PM

The Cowboys and Raiders played a Thanksgiving Day game in Arlington, Texas, and the players were ejected after an altercation in the third quarter.

Teamer flung Joseph to the ground well beyond the sideline and near the field-level club area, which started a mini-melee that left field judge Tom Hill with a cut on his chin.

Several players were pushing back and forth as a scrum formed behind the Las Vegas bench, but no punches appeared to be thrown and no other players were flagged.

The penalties offset, but Joseph and Teamer were sent to their locker rooms, missing the rest of the Raiders' victory over the Cowboys.

The officials were active in the game and called 28 penalties. The Cowboy were flagged 14 times for 166 yards while Las Vegas was flagged 14 times for 120 yards.

Shawn Hochuli's crew had thrown more flags, including declined or offsetting penalties, than any other crew this season, and had more penalty yards.
