Overview
- In the third quarter after a backfield stop, Hunt swung an overhead fist pump that narrowly missed a nearby official who ducked, and play continued without an ejection.
- Hunt acknowledged the moment postgame, saying he was glad the swing went high rather than forward and quipped that the official “would’ve been out of here.”
- Video of the exchange and Hunt’s comments circulated on social media via Pelissero’s postgame interview clip.
- Reporters noted that actual contact with an official would likely have led to an ejection and potential league discipline under NFL rules.
- Hunt finished with five tackles, one sack and two tackles for loss in Philadelphia’s defense-led 10-7 win that moved the Eagles to 7-2, with Detroit up next.
