The anticipated clash between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles quickly escalated into chaos just ten minutes into the first quarter. As the game unfolded at Lincoln Financial Field, a physical confrontation erupted after a play involving Steelers running back Najee Harris and tight end Darnell Washington.

The situation intensified when Washington's aggressive block on Eagles cornerback Darius Slay sparked a massive brawl, drawing in players from both teams. Steelers offensive tackle Broderick Jones, known for his role as a peacemaker, was visibly upset and had to be restrained.

Despite the turmoil, the Steelers managed to secure a field goal, but the incident set a combative tone for the remainder of the game, emphasizing the fierce rivalry for Pennsylvania supremacy.
