Colts' Matthew Adams Ejected for Punching Titans' Nick Dzubnar

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Matthew Adams was ejected in the first half of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans for throwing a punch at Titans linebacker Nick Dzubnar.

Adams was blocking Dzubnar on a punt by the Colts and ended up on the turf. Upon getting back to his feet, he threw a punch at Dzubnar.

Adams was assessed a 15-yard penalty, which set Tennessee up at the Colts' 44-yard line following Kalif Raymond's return. The Titans capitalized on their great field position as Ryan Tannehill's one-yard touchdown run capped off a quick five-play drive to help take a 35-14 lead.

Adams' disqualification added to a dreadful half for Indianapolis, which entered Week 12 tied with Tennessee for the best record (7-3) in the AFC South. The Titans are poised to take sole possession of first place after rolling up 346 yards on the Colts defense.

Adams, meanwhile, could watch his bank account take a slight hit. A player can receive a $10,500 fine for striking another player if it's his first offense. Titans linebacker Rashaan Evans was fined that amount when he punched Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt in the opening week.
