While the three players were in the end zone, Brooks and Brown began the skirmish. Then Pride got involved. Brown dragged Pride into the tunnel and knocked him down. It took me a moment or two to get things under control.
NFL officials threw flags on the play and each of the three players involved were sent to the showers early.
Brown had one tackle in the game. Sunday’s game was the 10th time he appeared this season.
