The NFL has suspended Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette for one game without pay following his ejection for fighting with Buffalo Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson on Sunday.
The league said Fournette violated its unsportsmanlike conduct and unnecessary roughness rules and as a result will miss Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts at TIAA Bank Field.
Monday's announcement did not mention any discipline for Lawson, who was also ejected after the incident in Buffalo's 24-21 win. Fournette has three business days to appeal the suspension.

I like the Jags and I think that city deserves some winning football. But, their record is clearly a case of a team not knowing how to handle success. They were a whistle away from playing in the Super Bowl. Now they are on track for the 5th pick in the draft.
