More trouble brewed for the wide receiver of the Baltimore Ravens Odell Beckham Jr and the defensive end of the Tennessee Titans Jeffery Simmons as the NFL announced a high amount of penalty for them. The two were earlier spotted fighting with each other in the game between the two team’s last week. The fight could have gone anyway and the players could have faced much harder consequences, but the authorities decided to only put a fine on them. 

As per reports, Odell Beckham Jr. received a fine of $33,317 for two unnecessary roughness towards Simmons. Simmons, on the other hand is fined for $11,473.

The fight between the two was intense. It all started with OBJ showing disrespect to Simmons as he kicked his helmet with his knee. The game was over by then and the Ravens achieved a much-needed victory.

However, Beckham Jr. could not get over his poor performance in the match and that’s the sole reason to burst out in frustration against Simmons. Now Simmons, who was on the receiving end, responded and the fight began between the two. The security stepped in after the game and separated them. Otherwise, it could have become worse. 

Marlon Humphrey, the teammate of Odell Beckham Jr., saw the entire thing and gave a brief description of things.

Dude, I am sitting here after the game. A jersey swapped with a dude. So like, it took me while I was taking my jersey off. I saw Jeffery Simmons… As my back’s turned to him, our guy goes RODNEY, RODNEY. Rodney is our security’s name. I am like… any time you start yelling security, like run run… freaking out… I turned around, “Oh don’t you ever like fighting?“

He further added:

I am pretty sure, Odell grabbed his facemask like they had to get separated and everything. I don't know, how this has not hit. I mean he is crazy, dude. He won, it's the fade from getting the PR that ODELL wanted to fade from.

The Baltimore Ravens are having above average season so far. The team won their four games and registered a loss in two. They are holding a 4-2 record, presently.

In four games that he was part of this season, Beckham Jr. registered nine receives for 113 yards with 32 as the longest reception. He is presently having an average of 12.6. The WR is slowly getting his momentum back. Hence, he needs to be a bit cautious.
