Huge Brawl Breaks Out Between Commanders, Eagles
Despite two early touchdowns by Eagles star running back Saquon Barkley, things remained close between Washington and Philadelphia throughout the first half. After a touchdown inside of the first half two-minute warning things became heated between the two bitter NFC East rivals.
After a brotherly shove, Eagle wide receiver A.J. Brown and Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore came face to face as things had been brewing between the two stars throughout the first half.
That led to several other scuffles between Commanders and Eagles players. The end result was a single unnecessary roughness penalty on Lattimore.

Dan Snyder Pissed About Washington's Playoff Run
The Commanders have undoubtedly been the biggest surprise of the NFL season. Usually one of the laughing stocks of the NFL, Washington made the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
Amid the Commanders' recent string of success, one person who is not too thrilled about Washington's success is their former owner, Dan Snyder. Ahead of their NFC Championship bout in Philadelphia, one source revealed that Snyder, "f****n hates," seeing the Commander's rise to the top.
One thing that everyone can agree with is that the Commanders fans are not used to their team having this type of success. They have only won three playoff games since 2000. Many fans feel that Washington's latest string of success has a lot to do with the team's new ownership. Former owner Dan Snyder sold the team in April 2023 to an ownership group spearheaded by New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia 76ers owner, Josh Harris for just a little over $6 billion.
