Now new video footage has emerged revealing the terrible knock out Palmer received by Rice during their elevator fight back in February of this year.

According to TMZ, the NFL gave Rice a 2 game suspension after learning about the assault. But outraged football fans, and celebrities including, Seth Rogen want Rice to receive a harsher punishment.

The NFL league officials claim that they did not see the new elevator footage that was released Monday, before they gave out the 2 game suspension.

A league spokesperson says, "We requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator. That video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today."

It is unknown at this time if the NFL will take action to re-open it's investigation of the incident.

The NFL claims that police wouldn't give them the video, the league also didn't make note of attempting to get the new video from the casino personally.
