LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Three players were ejected after a brawl involving plenty of others from the Eagles and Commanders broke out late in the fourth quarter Saturday night after Philadelphia's Saquon Barkley scored on a 2-point conversion to boost his team's lead to 19 points with about 4 1/2 minutes left.

Two members of Washington's defense — Javon Kinlaw and Quan Martin — and one Eagles player — offensive lineman Tyler Steen — were disqualified after being flagged for unnecessary roughness.

There was a ton of pushing and shoving, and a lot of jawing, too, as the scrum spread across the grass. Six flags were thrown by officials as the chaos ensued.

Eventually, order was restored, and Barkley, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner spoke to each other.
