Oday Aboushi was seen exchanging punches with Randy Gregory after the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Denver Broncos on Sunday and the NFL is taking action. Less than 24 hours since the incident occurred, the league has elected to suspend Aboushi and Gregory for one game each for their involvement in the scuffle.
Randy Gregory of the Denver Broncos and Oday Aboushi of the Los Angeles Rams have each been suspended without pay for one game for violations of unsportsmanlike conduct and unnecessary roughness rules following Sunday’s Broncos-Rams game.

Following the 51-14 victory at home, there wasn’t much Christmas joy between the Rams and the Broncos on Sunday. While players from both teams were conversing with each other after the game, Gregory threw a punch at Aboushi’s head and the veteran lineman swung back.
The two were seemingly exchanging words before Gregory took offense to something said and elected to hit Aboushi. Aboushi would retaliate and players from both teams had to separate them, which led to Baker Mayfield’s post-game interview being interrupted.
It remains to be seen what was said between the two, but the NFL didn’t hesitate to suspend both of them for throwing punches after the game. Aboushi will miss next week’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers after a stellar performance on Sunday, leaving the Rams to deploy a new offensive line combination in Week 17.
