The NFL is becoming a kinder, gentler place. Even training camp fights aren't what they used to be, nor are they accepted or even celebrated as they once were.
In the past week, coaches Mike Zimmer of the Vikings and Doug Marrone of the Jaguars booted four star players out of practice for their parts in a couple of on-field skirmishes.
Total punches thrown by Xavier Rhodes, Stefon Diggs, Jalen Ramsey and Dante Fowler Jr.: 0.
Now, Zimmer and Marrone bring together two swaggering teams that ranked 1-2 defensively and came within one step of facing each other in the Super Bowl six months ago.
