NFL Opts for Fines, Not Suspensions, After EaglesCommanders Brawl

Philadelphia guard Tyler Steen remains available pending league fines from the late-game fracas.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the league will issue no suspensions from Saturday’s altercations, with discipline expected in the form of fines.
  • Eagles right guard Tyler Steen said he expects a fine and plans to appeal after his ejection, and he will play in Week 17.
  • Officials ejected Steen along with Washington’s Javon Kinlaw and Quan Martin after a scrum that followed a successful two-point run with 4:26 remaining.
  • Nick Sirianni defended the two-point try as a math-based choice, while Dan Quinn and multiple Washington players criticized the decision and described wider involvement than the three ejections.
  • Philadelphia’s 29–18 win clinched the NFC East, and the rivals are scheduled to meet again in Week 18 in Philadelphia.
