Raiders guard Gabe Jackson fined for role in Broncos melee
Raiders guard Gabe Jackson was not suspended for making contact with an official during last Sunday’s brawl between the Raiders and Broncos - but he will pay a hefty fine.
The NFL announced a $30,387 fine Friday for Jackson, the standard amount listed on the league website for a first offense of physical contact with a referee.
Jackson was one of three players ejected - along with Raiders receiver Michael Crabtree and Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib - for their actions in the melee.
Jackson was one of the first Raiders players to run toward the sideline as Crabtree was being swarmed by Broncos players.
