SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – NFL officials ejected former Utah and current Denver Broncos receiver Tim Patrick following a fight during a game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Raiders hosted the Broncos at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, November 15.
During the early part of the fourth quarter, Patrick and Raiders cornerback Isaiah Johnson were both disqualified from the game after throwing punches.
Following an incomplete pass on 3rd & 10 from the Denver 25, an altercation involving several players took place after Patrick punched Raiders safety Johnathan Abram.
