Cox was 100% the instigator. I know Bison fans won't like this, but 9 was just sort of watching around the pill and Cox tried to grab him and pull him to touch the ball....which if I remember the rules, wouldn't even count as him touching it anyway.
9 pushed him off of him to get him to let go. Then it was some pushing and shoving.
