A video involving two women fighting while Dante Fowler Jr. observes and then tries to stop the brawl surfaced today on TMZ Sports. The website refers to the women who scuffle in this video recorded at an apartment complex earlier this month as the mother of Fowler’s child and a woman believed to be Fowler’s current girlfriend 
The NFL released a brief statement characterizing the video as containing “disturbing images,” (link via Hays Carlyon of the Florida Times-Union), and will review the matter.
The Jaguars’ 2015 first-round pick, Fowler does not throw a punch in the video and breaks up the fight.
According to Carlyon, this fight occurred Feb. 1. The Jaguars and Fowler released statements following the NFL’s comment, and the Jaguars’ comments indicate Fowler informed the team of the incident before the video surfaced.
“I am embarrassed and have apologized for my actions to everyone involved,” Fowler said in his statement. “As a family, we have been dealing with this moment and the conflict that led to it since this occurred. The video surfacing is a sad reminder that emotions got the best of all of us. I take 100 percent responsibility for everything that happened
No police report of this incident exists.
Fowler missed all of his rookie season due to tearing his ACL during the first day of the Jags’ rookie minicamp last spring.

Those criticizing Fowler…. Should he have stepped between the two and tried to break it up?
I think not.
That would have made it look much worse!
