The Dallas Cowboys didn't show much of a fight on the field against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles, but that doesn't mean they weren't willing to throw down.
At the end of the Week 17 showdown in the NFC East, a brawl broke out near the tunnel.
Sydney Brown of the Eagles slammed Cowboys defensive back Troy Pride to the ground before Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Brooks came running in to join the scuffle.
Once the players were separated, Brown, Pride, and Brooks were all ejected.

There is certainly no love lost between the two teams.
Ultimately, Dallas was on the wrong end of a 41-7 shellacking.
It's an unfortunate end to the Cowboys' hot streak, which included four wins in their last five outings, but their luck ran out. Philadelphia, meanwhile, clinched the division title.
If there is one thing Cowboys fans can be happy about, however, it's that the players didn't back down when it was time for some smoke -- even if it was the most fight they showed during the game.
The Cowboys will finish off their disappointing 2024 campaign in Week 18 with another NFC East showdown as they play host to the Washington Commanders. Plenty of fans will be pulling for a Cowboys loss so the team can improve its draft position and potentially guarantee a head coaching change entering the offseason.
