DeVonta Smith took offense to Greenlaw slamming him to the turf after a catch, and words were exchanged between both teams. During the mini-skirmish, Greenlaw shoved DiSandro in the face, causing another scuffle, before penalties were assessed and both men ejected.

The Eagles promptly responded with a 10-play, 58-yard touchdown-scoring drive buoyed by huge catches from A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
