Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown and Washington Commanders defensive back Marshon Lattimore had to be pulled apart as they got into a brouhaha in the NFC Championship on Sunday.

The incident occurred after Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts ran into the end zone for a touchdown from the 1-yard line with under 2 minutes to play in the first half. To the right, Brown and Lattimore locked horns.

The two players pushed each other in the helmet. Brown pushed Lattimore’s helmet off his face. Lattimore was penalized for unnecessary roughness, giving the Eagles a great opportunity for a 2-point attempt. But Washington locked in and stopped Hurts’ sneak.

No other player was penalized for the outburst.

Lattimore is a four-time Pro Bowler. Washington acquired him in a midseason trade with the New Orleans Saints. He appeared in two games for the Commanders during the regular season and had three pass breakups.

Lattimore is a fierce competitor. He has been seen in several skirmishes with Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Mike Evans as the two players competed during NFC South rivalry games when the cornerback was on the Saints.

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

He entered the half leading Philadelphia in receiving with four catches for 61 yards and the touchdown.
