There was drama in the Indianapolis Colts clash against the New England Patriots on Sunday (AEDT).

Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. and Patriots defensive back Kyle Dugger were ejected after getting caught up in a scuffle.

It happened in the third quarter as the pair shoved each other in play before Pittman was hit in the face mask of Dugger after Patriots outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy shoved the former from behind.

Dugger shoved Pittman to the ground and removed his helmet as the pair wrestled before being separated by officials and teammates and given personal fouls and ejections, while Van Noy escaped with no penalties.

The NFL could yet assess the incident and issue further financial sanctions.

Meanwhile, the NFL world on social media was left divided, with some believing Pittman was unfairly tossed from the game.
