The NFL has suspended Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette one game without pay for leaving the sideline Youth Andre Reed Jersey , running across the field and throwing punches at Buffalo Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson.NFL Vice President of Football Operations Jon Runyan handed down the punishment Monday, saying "sportsmanship is the cornerstone of the game and the league will not tolerate game-related misconduct that conveys a lack of respect for the game itself and those involved in it."Runyan sent a letter to Fournette detailing his wrongdoing."Video of the incident shows that you were not a participant in the play and that you ran from your sideline to the opposite side of the field to insert yourself as an active participant in a fight," Runyan wrote."Once you entered the fight area, you struck a member of the opposing team. Your actions adversely reflected on the NFL and have no place in the game."Fournette and Lawson were ejected in the third quarter of Buffalo's 24-21 victory and continued jawing at each other as they exited the field and entered the tunnel to the locker rooms.Fournette has three days to appeal the suspension.The second-year pro will be eligible to return to the team's active roster next Monday. Jacksonville Ed Oliver Buffalo Bills Jersey , which has lost seven in a row, hosts Indianapolis on Sunday. Recent years have generally found NFL teams averse to relying on running backs over 30 to play major roles on their offense, but the Bills are going another way this season.They signed Frank Gore, who turns 36 this May Buffalo Bills Jersey 2019 , to complement LeSean McCoy, who turns 31 this summer, in their backfield. Some might wonder if the Bills are putting too much faith in players who might be close to the end of the line, especially with McCoy coming off his worst NFL season.As you’d imagine Color Rush Ed Oliver Jersey , head coach Sean McDermott is not in that camp and he told NFL Media that he believes the two players will push each other to better things.“I just think what better way to challenge one another with a guy for LeSean that’s been there and done that and done a lot of the things LeSean’s done at a high level,” McDermott said. “I think iron’s gonna sharpen iron in that situation.”Gore and McCoy have the most combined rushing yards of any teammates in NFL history and they will add to that total in 2019. How much they add will help determine how well things go in Buffalo next season.
