The two players shoved each other in the helmet. Brown pushed Lattimore’s helmet off his face. Lattimore was penalized for unnecessary roughness and it gave the Eagles a great opportunity for a 2-point try. However, Washington locked up and stopped Hurts’ sneak.
No other players were penalized for the flare-up.
Lattimore is a four-time pro bowler. Washington acquired him in a midseason trade with the New Orleans Saints. He appeared in two games for the Commanders during the regular season and had three pass breakups.
