New England Patriots tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Michael Hoomanawanui have been handed matching $8,268 fines for their roles in a fourth-quarter brawl against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday.
The fight broke out as Patriots quarterback Tom Brady took a knee to run out the final seconds on the clock, following Malcom Butler's incredible game-clinching goal-line interception.
