In this story:

A fight in the second half of the Jets-Dolphins Black Friday tilt turned bloody for an NFL referee and resulted in two ejections.

The two teams became involved in a fracas following the extra point try of Raheem Mostert’s touchdown. During the fight, Jets defensive lineman Michael Clemons pointed his arm at one of the Dolphins’s offensive players. 

In the motion of pointing, Clemons struck umpire Carl Paganelli in the face. Due to being hit in the mouth, Paganelli was shown spitting blood.

In addition, Miami offensive lineman Austin Jackson was also ejected for his involvement in the fight.

Despite the Jets showing “fight” after the whistle, the Dolphins firmly controlled the game after the touchdown, leading New York 27-6. Miami is well on its way to improving to 8-3 on the season.
