Shocking moment Eagles coach Nick Sirianni gets in furious argument with assistant... before 'Big Dom' breaks it up

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni got into a fiery exchange with one of his assistants on Sunday as Philly played the Steelers. With the Eagles leading Pittsburgh 27-13 in the fourth quarter - and set to receive a punt - defensive tackle Jalen Carter nearly cost his team possession of the ball when he whacked Connor Heyward in the helmet and got flagged for a penalty.

And Sirianni was incensed by Carter's decision-making as he tried to confront the 23-year-old. However, defensive line coach Clint Huff stood in Sirianni's way and the two traded words with one another as they were face-to-face. The team's chief security officer 'Big Dom' DiSandro, who was barred from the sidelines last season after an altercation with the 49ers' Dre Greenlaw, then stepped in to assuage the situation between Sirianni and Huff.

The situation did not escalate past a verbal confrontation, while Carter's infraction was deemed to have occurred after the Steelers had punted - meaning the Eagles still got the ball. Nick Sirianni and defensive line coach Clint Huff got into it after a Jalen Carter penalty.
