Twitter has universal reaction to Cowboys-Chargers pre-game fight
Before the two sides got to fighting it out on the field, they got to an actual fight. The Dallas Cowboys and Los Angeles Chargers are both in need of a victory as the two teams are set to square off on Monday Night Football. With Dallas at 3-2 and the Chargers’ record at 2-2 coming off a bye, neither can afford to lose any more ground on the 5-1 teams atop their respective conferences.
The emotions spilled into fisticuffs with the two teams in pregame warmups. It appears that the Chargers were in the way of the Cowboys and some players took exception. The clearest videos see several players getting into it, including Dallas DE Dante Fowler catching Chargers RB Austin Ekeler with a right hand that knocked the latter’s helmet off.
Of course, after being embarrassed last week in San Francisco, the prevailing sentiments among observers on Twitter were a range of “oh now they want to show fight.” Here are some of the best reactions.

2 dudes who do basically nothing, starting a fight, is the most Cowboys thing ever. Fight will dissappear in about 40 mins, bet that. https://t.co/UWXNJnghkZ
