Detroit Lions expect a number of players to be fined after the melee in the Lions loss to the Bears on Sunday according to Anwar Richardson of Mlive.com. The scrap ensued after Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford threw his third interception - this one to Bears cornerback Tim Jennings - and he pursued the cornerback. While in pursuit, Stafford tangled with Bears cornerback D.J. Moore, who he grabbed by the helmet and threw to the ground. Moore responded by attacking Stafford and a tussle between the teams ensued. After the scuffle, Moore was ejected. "I thought the play on Stafford was a little bit over the line," Lions linebacker Justin Durant said. "That's how I feel about it. He was just trying to make to make a play. He had thrown an interception and was trying to get there. The guy just took it overboard ... I can imagine some people will have some $20,000 fines. I'm not sure who was doing what or if anybody was throwing blows.
