It’s been a tough year for both the defending Super Bowl champion LA Rams and Denver Broncos. Both teams were expected to do big things this year and both have fallen flat.

The season has just gotten worse (if that’s possible) for both when it was announced Monday that former Nebraska Cornhusker Randy Gregory who plays now for the Broncos and the Rams’ Oday Aboushi were both suspended one game by the NFL for fighting after Sunday’s Rams vs Broncos game.

NFL vice president of football operations Jon Runyan explained in this press release why both players got suspended:

“As you were walking toward a group of teammates, coaches, and media, you both stopped and swung at each other’s head and/or neck,” Runyan said in a letter to the players. “Your aggressive conduct could have caused serious injury and clearly does not reflect the high standards of sportsmanship expected of a professional.”

Both players can still play if they decide to appeal their one-game suspension by the league. Gregory has been in trouble before with the NFL and was suspended two years ago for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
