Eagles’ Brotherly Shove ends in chaos as A.J. Brown and Marshon Lattimore brawl with helmet ripped off
The Super Bowl was on the line and the battle was on.
The Washington Commanders had been trying to hold on against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles throughout the first half in the NFC Championship.
When Philly unleashed its trademark Brotherly Shove -- also known as the Tush Push -- for a touchdown late in the second quarter, a growing beef between Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown and Commanders defensive back Marshon Lattimore quickly became chaotic.
While Jalen Hurts gave Philly a 20-12 lead before a roaring home crowd, Brown and Lattimore went at it on the right side of the field.
Big time.
Brown nearly lost his helmet.

"This is good television," a second fan posted.
"Wow such hate for each other, let’s just all skip around and be merry ok?" a third fan wrote.
