Overview

• The Arizona Cardinals imposed a fine of more than $100,000 on head coach Jonathan Gannon following a sideline confrontation with running back Emari Demercado.
• Video widely shared online shows Gannon berating Demercado and appearing to strike the player as he walked away.
• Gannon said he apologized to Demercado and the team in a meeting the next day, and ESPN reported the NFL will not pursue additional discipline.
• The confrontation followed Demercado releasing the ball just before the goal line on a would-be 72-yard touchdown during a 21-22 loss decided by a last-second field goal.
• In a separate incident, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was fined $250,000 after video captured an obscene gesture during a win over the Jets, which he later said was a mistaken thumbs-up.
