At the end of the Philadelphia Eagles versus Dallas Cowboys game on Sunday, a fight broke out and one of the security guards wanted no part of it.
Security Guard Wants No Part of NFL Fight in Philadelphia
In Dallas’ 40-7 loss to Philadelphia, one could say they did not put up much of a fight. When the final whistle was about to blow, Dallas players finally summoned up the courage to fight with Eagles players — and it got a little chippy.
A security guard, hired to protect people on the field and in the stands, wanted no part of the fight and he ducked out of the way. The players brawled for a few minutes until order was restored.

Sydney Brown of the Eagles knocked Cowboys defensive back Troy Pride to the ground before Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Brooks came running in to join the fracas.
Brown, Pride, and Brooks were all ejected. They will be subject to possible fines and suspensions this week by the National Football League.

Philadelphia clinched the NFC East with the win. In the win, Saquon Barkley went over 2,000 rushing yards for the season. He will have an opportunity to break Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record next week at home against his former team, the New York Giants.
Barkley ran 31 times for 167 yards to eclipse the 2,000 yard plateau. Barkley has 2,005 yards and needs 101 in next week’s finale against Big Blue to top Dickerson and his 2,105 yards for the Los Angeles Rams in 1984.
In the game, Tanner McKee threw his first touchdown pass of his career to A.J. Brown. McKee would later throw his second touchdown pass of the game to DeVonta Smith.
However, Brown was so excited to score, he heaved the ball into the stands.
When he realized it was McKee’s first touchdown pass, he traded the recipient of the football an autographed game-worn jersey. The deal was struck — after the game, Brown gave the fan his signed jersey.
Jalen Hurts did not start the game for Philadelphia due to injury — he is still in concussion protocol. Kenny Pickett got the start, but left with an injury to his chest and ribs, bringing McKee in off the bench.
Pickett was wearing a flak jacket before the game, but nonetheless, the injury caused the pain to be more severe.
