Not only did the Philadelphia Eagles dominate the Dallas Cowboys, but Sydney Brown handled a Cowboys player in the middle of a brawl between the two teams. At the end of their Week 17 matchup, both teams starred in a scuffle that broke out on the sideline and continued in the tunnel.

As both special teams units clashed on the field, wide receiver Jalen Brooks' contact with Brown wasn't met with good eyes, which is when all hell broke loose. Brown slammed Cowboys defensive back Troy Pride to the ground before Brooks came running to join the action.

Once referees and even police officers got involved and de-escalated the situation, Brown, Pride and Brooks were all ejected. Coming into this game, the Cowboys were hopeful of ruining the Eagles' chances to secure the NFC East division title, especially with Jalen Hurts inactive with a concussion.

That didn't matter to Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee, who combined for 197 passing yards and three touchdowns to get the 41-7 victory over the Texan squad.

The animosity between these teams has reached new heights in recent years, especially with both squads fighting to win their division almost every season. This time, however, the Eagles had the last laugh and clinched the division title.

Eagles star Saquon Barkley posted remarkable performance against Dallas Cowboys

Saquon Barkley is still on track to break Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record. His performance against the Cowboys increased his chances of doing so in the season finale against his former team, the New York Giants.

Barkley carried the ball 31 times to rack up 167 rushing yards. He also caught two passes for two receiving yards but couldn't find the end zone.

DeVonta Smith and AJ Brown continued their good moment, with the former catching six passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns while Brown only grabbed three passes for 36 yards but still found the end zone.

With this result, the Eagles snapped the Cowboys' hot streak, which included four wins in their last five duels. On the other side, the Eagles clinched the division title with this win despite losing in the final seconds of their Week 16 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Barkley and Co. will try to finish their campaign on a strong note against a special rival.
