Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown and Washington Commanders defensive back Marshon Lattimore had to be separated when they got into a Brouhaha in the NFC championship game on Sunday.
The incident occurred after Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts ran into the end zone for a touchdown from the 1-yard line with less than 2 minutes to play in the first half. On the right, Brown and Lattimore locked horns.

The two players were pushing each other’s helmets. Brown pushed Lattimore’s helmet off his face. Lattimore was penalized for unnecessary roughness, giving the Eagles a great opportunity for a 2-point try. However, Washington locked in and stopped Hurts’ advance.
No other players were penalized for the outbreak.
Lattimore is a four-time Pro Bowler. Washington acquired him in a trade with the New Orleans Saints in the middle of the season. He appeared in two games for the Commanders during the regular season and had three pass breakups.

Brown, Lattimore’s nemesis in this scrimmage, ended up scoring on the Eagles’ drive. He caught a 4-yard pass from the wounds to push Philadelphia’s lead even higher.
