The two players pushed each other in the helmet. Brown pushed Lattimore’s helmet off his face. Lattimore was penalized for unnecessary roughness, giving the Eagles a great opportunity for a 2-point attempt. However, Washington locked in and stopped Hurts’ sneak.

No other player was 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 Chiefs during the regular season and had three pass breakups.
