NFL slaps Cowboys, Eagles players with handful of fines for wild fight that led to ejections
The NFL fined Eagles defensive back Sydney Brown $6,981, Cowboys defensive back Troy Pride $5,198, and Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Brooks $5,083 for unnecessary roughness–in the fight that led to their ejections last week. Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network relayed the news on Saturday.
A huge fight broke out in the Cowboys-Eagles game on Sunday, with multiple players being tossed from the game. Here are multiple videos of what happened. Sydney Brown of Philadelphia was ejected, as were Troy Pride and Jalen Brooks of Dallas.
And it’ll only help to add even more intensity and fuel to this bitter rivalry. 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 melee.
Melee aside, the Eagles thrashed the Cowboys 41-7. This one was pretty much out of hand before halftime, with Philadelphia boasting a 24-7 lead. They only poured it on even more after halftime, blanking Dallas in the second half.

With the win, Philadelphia won the NFC East Division. Eagles running back Saquon Barkley ran for 167 yards to top 2,000 in the 2024 campaign. That puts him at 2,005 on the season, just 101 short of Eric Dickerson (2,105 yards). If Barkley can accomplish that, he’ll have the NFL’s single season rushing yardage mark. Dickerson set the record back in 1984 for the Rams, in the prime of his Hall of Fame career.
Philadelphia backup quarterback Kenny Pickett was drilled in the third quarter by Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, ending his first start in place of Jalen Hurts, who was concussed. Pickett had to leave the game with injured ribs and took multiple pain injections to play on Sunday. Tanner McKee, their third-string quarterback, finished the game. He had two touchdown passes in the heated rivalry game.
Philadelphia will finish off their 2024-2025 regular season with a Sunday matchup against the New York Giants. That one is slated for January 5th and kick is set for 1:00 PM EST.
