In a game of backup QBs on Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Dallas Cowboys 41-7. While Jalen Hurts is under concussion protocol, Dak Prescott has been out since November due to a hamstring injury.
While it wasn't Cooper Rush's first rodeo, the Eagles' third backup QB, Tanner McKee, had to take to the field after Kenny Pickett suffered an injury.
However, things took an ugly turn towards the end of the game. Eagles safety Sydney Brown shoved Cowboys CB Troy Pride into the tunnel. Both of them started fighting and Cowboys wideout Jalen Brooks joined the fray.

The referees got involved and physically separated the fighting players. Soon afterward, all three players were ejected from the game. As the video went viral on social media, fans reacted to it.
"Cowboys getting they a** whooped on and off the field 😂😂😂😂," a fan said.
"Most common NFC East fight," another fan said.
Other fans also chimed in with their reactions to the scuffle.
"Philly is just bullying them at this point," one fan commented.
"PUT THE BELT ON THEM BUM AS COWBOYS!!!" another fan said.
"Eagles own Dallas," one fan wrote.
"You can’t hate the eagles enough," another fan said.
What does Sunday's loss mean for the Dallas Cowboys?
The Cowboys had momentum, winning four of the five previous games. But when it came to the Eagles, they could not win. Despite team owner Jerry Jones saying that the team was "all in" before the start of the season, 2024 has been disappointing for the team.
Even after paying out handsome contract extensions to wideout CeeDee Lamb and QB Dak Prescott, the team wasn't able to win many games. In Week18, theY will take on another of their divisional rivals, the Washington Commanders, led by standout rookie QB Jayden Daniels.
After today's loss, the Cowboys' draft order has improved to No. 13, which is still not enough. Most of the good players would be taken by the time Dallas gets its turn. Should the team consider losing the Commanders game to secure a higher draft pick?
