Oakland Raiders' Richie Incognito seen pushing opponent's head into dirt after play
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Oakland Raiders offensive lineman Richie Incognito was the subject of some scrutiny -- again -- following the team’s shocking win over the Chicago Bears in England on Sunday.
Incognito received an unnecessary roughness penalty in the first quarter because he was seen pushing Bears cornerback Buster Skrine’s face into the ground after a running play. He was penalized for the move, which took Oakland out of field-goal range early in the game.

Incognito was suspended for the first two games of the season over off-the-field issues.

“Of course we take that personally,” he said. “[Mack] was talking about how he was looking forward to playing us and all that stuff. There’s history. We came out, and we were physical with him, and they didn’t like it.”
