Philadelphia Eagles star AJ Brown was involved in a heated scuffle with two Washington Commanders players as tempers flared during Sunday's NFC Championship game. After Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts tush-pushed his way to a touchdown at the end of the first half, Brown became embroiled in a fiery tussling match with Washington duo Marshon Lattimore and Frankie Luvu.

Their brief melee ensued after Lattimore pushed the Philadelphia wide receiver away to block him from entering the end zone, before they exchanged vicious shoves and grabbed hold of one another. As they pushed and pulled in the end zone, Luvu also tried to grab hold of Brown and help his teammate, only for officials to quickly intervene and split the trio up.

Despite three players being involved, referees only called a flag on Lattimore for his part in the scuffle. Hurts' touchdown moved the Eagles 20-12 ahead in Philadelphia, where a place in next month's Super Bowl is up for grabs.
