Multiple players threw punches in retaliation and three, including Garrett, were ejected from the game.

All players involved in the incident are going to be under review by the NFL for possible suspensions, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The longest suspension for a singular on-field incident in NFL history is the five games that Albert Haynesworth got in 2006 for stomping on an opposing player's head.
