Watch: Ravens' Humphrey chokes Beckham

Odell Beckham Jr. and Marlon Humphrey engaged in a tenacious battle Sunday afternoon that came to a climax in the third quarter.

The Baltimore Ravens cornerback was in Beckham's face for the duration of the contest. At the end of a run from Nick Chubb, the Cleveland Browns wide receiver confronted Humphrey. The defender proceeded to choke slam the wideout and kept his hands around Beckham's throat.

A series of penalties were called after the two teams brawled, but neither player was ejected.

"We didn't see anything on the field that rose to the level of a disqualifying foul," referee Shawn Hochuli said in a pool report, according to Jonas Shaffer of the Baltimore Sun.

Humphrey said he apologized to Beckham after the game.

"That's not the brand of football I really want to represent. The whistle blows, it's got to be over with," he said, per ESPN.
