Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey and New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate have some beef. It resulted in the two players getting in to a heated brawl following the Rams' Week 4 win over the Giants, which led to the sidelines clearing and punches being thrown.

It's not clear who started the fight, but the NFL has since fined Ramsey $15,625 for unsportsmanlike conduct as a result of the incident, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Tate was not fined.

Ramsey might have been hit with a fine because he reportedly was lurking outside the Giants locker room after the game to throw hands with Tate for a second time. Although another fight didn't happen, the fine sends a clear message to both players that their behavior was unacceptable.

Tate and Ramsey have had issues for a long time. The former Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback used to date Tate's sister, and even had two children with her. The couple went through a breakup last year, and that's when Tate said Ramsey treated his sister poorly.
