A fight ensued in the game between the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles on September 21, Sunday.

In a report by Fox Sports, Philadelphia was in possession, first-and-10 at the 24-yard line of their territory during the fourth quarter with 10:07 remaining. The scores were tied at 24. Quarterback Nick Foles made a pass supposedly for Brent Celek but it was intercepted by Bashaud Breeland at the 48-yard line, who returned it to the 31-yard line of Philadelphia.

That was when the brawl started. Just before the play ended, Chris Baker of Washington blindsided Foles with a huge hit and knocked him to the ground. The quarterback was obviously shocked and in pain, so the Eagles came to his rescue, starting the melee. Game officials threw several flags and the teams had to resort to the judges' scorecard to determine the penalties. Finally, Baker of Washington and Jason Peters of Philadelphia were ejected from the game.

Videos on Bleacher Report, showed the blindsided Foles and the pushes and punches that followed.

Furthermore, the replay official questioned the interception ruling. After watching a review, the play was changed to an incomplete pass because the football hit the ground. The rules state that because the receiver was not down at the time the quarterback was hit, such was valid. However, during a change of possession, it was wrong to tackle the quarterback. When the interception call was reversed to an incomplete pass, referee Tony Corrente's first call should have been proper. Peters of the Eagles, not Trent Williams of the Redskins, should have been ejected. 

In the end, the Philadelphia Eagles won with a final score of 37-34. Foles garnered 325 yards and three touchdowns while Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins garnered 427 yards and three touchdowns. Foles said after the game, "It was a dirty play. He got me pretty good."

Jason Peters added about Foles hit on ESPN.com, "He was cheap shotted. I mean, he cheap shotter [Foles] and he's not even trying to make a play. So I just reacted. I shouldn't have did what I did, but I was just trying to protect my quarterback."

According to ProFootballTalk, Baker and Peters are not in danger of being suspended after the skirmish.
