Chris Long, Kyle Long involved in Rams vs. Bears fight (GIF)
By Bryan Rose
For the first time in two decades, Howie Long was not on the Fox NFL Sunday set as he flew to St. Louis where he planned to watch his two sons, Chris and Kyle Long battle.
Little did he know both Chris and Kyle would be in the middle of a mini-brawl.
With St. Louis leading Chicago 21-7 in the second quarter, things got testy when Trumaine Johnson was tackled via a nasty facemask. That itself was likely enough to start a war of words, but down field, Bears offensive tackle Kyle Long was engaged in a scuffle with a Rams lineman. That quickly escalated and a handful of players from both sides began pushing and shoving while Kyle Long’s brother, Rams defensive end Chris Long (who was on the sideline) rushed onto the field and did everything he could to stop the skirmish, including trying to get his brother out of the ruckus.
Flags were thrown and Kyle Long was given an unsportsmanlike penalty for fifteen yards, but there were no ejections.
There is no automatic ejection for coming off the bench in the NFL.
