ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Amid the rules changes and points of emphasis presented in a video shown to players and coaches this week, the NFL wants to make one point above all clear for 2015: don't get into fights.
Embarrassed by the fracas in the dying moments of the Patriots' Super Bowl XLIX win over the Seahawks, the video shown by referee Jeff Triplette to the Broncos and the 31 other teams highlights that incident, along with other unruly scrums. Fines will be assessed to players who just happen to be "in the area" of a fight.
