NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL has fined the Giants and Lions.

The NFL confirmed on Wednesday that the Detroit Lions and New York Giants organizations have each been fined $200,000.

The teams were fined for a series of fights that transpired during a joint practice between the two teams.

All NFL clubs were reminded in a memo sent last month that fighting and other unsportsmanlike conduct would be met with severe penalties.

This is the first time that two teams have been fined for fighting during a joint practice.
