Emotions were running high in the tilt between the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Following an earlier altercation that involved ejections, there were three more players ejected between the Dolphins and the Bengals in the fourth quarter.

Early in the first half, Tyler Boyd and Xavien Howard would get into an altercation after the whistle was blown after a play. While the officials discussed the aftermath of the play, both Boyd and Howard were ejected from the game.

Upon watching the video of Boyd and Howard's scuffle, neither of them did anything absolutely egregious. Nevertheless, the referees saw enough to remove both players for the rest of the contest.

The second incident occurred in the fourth quarter when both sidelines cleared following a questionable hit to Jakeem Grant. Mike Thomas, the wide receiver of the Bengals who committed the hit, wasn't among the players to be thrown out of the game.

However, DeVante Parker and Mack Hollins came in defense of their fellow wideout by getting into it with members of the Bengals. At the same time, Shawn Williams of the Bengals was also involved in the situation, leading to more flags residing on the field.

Parker, Hollins, and Williams were all ejected, with both teams not taking a liking to each other on Sunday. In addition, Brian Flores was also upset with the events that transpired, needing to be held back by players on the field.

While the Dolphins won the game against the Bengals, the NFL will likely be looking into the entire situation involving both teams in Week 13.
