The NFL on Friday handed down punishments following a brawl during the Giants' 37-27 win over the Rams on Sunday.

Nearly $60,000 worth of fines came from the league as a result of the fight. They are as follows:

— DE Damontre Moore, $15,000

— WR Preston Parker, $15,000

— WR Odell Beckham Jr., $10,000

— DE William Hayes, $10,000

— OLB Alec Ogletree, $8,268

A few more players were fined in the matchup, but not due to the brawl. 

Parker spoke with NJ.com and actually expected his fine to be worth a little more money.

"Because I threw a punch, I thought it was going to be a little more," he said. "When we came back here, I've never been ejected, I was thinking about what would they do. Would they suspend me for the next game? I didn't know. So a bunch of thoughts were going through my mind."

Hayes and Ogletree are both Rams players, which should surprise coach Jeff Fisher. He was asked about the fight and told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch he didn't expect any of his players to be punished.

"The league will handle the appropriate discipline as far as that’s concerned. I would be very surprised if we had anybody that was fined for that."

A few more fines were handed down from the league office Friday. Lions defensive lineman Ziggy Ansah was fined $22,050 for his hit on Jimmy Clausen. Raiders defensive end Justin Tuck was fined $22,050 for unsportsmanlike conduct for directing abusive language towards a referee.
