Sunday’s meeting between the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars got off to a chaotic start.
Including pair ejection.
After the Eagles fumbled and delayed, Jacksonville returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown.
But that was nullified by a penalty against the Jaguars, and that’s when the frustration really began. A fight broke out in midfield and two players – Philadelphia’s Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and Jacksonville’s Bryan Thomas Jr. – were both ejected.
You can see some of them and their results in these clips:
Here’s the full sequence, including the beginning:
And here’s another recap from the broadcast:
Here’s the moment Trotter learned he was fired:
Here is a picture of Trotter leaving the field.
Although Trotter was ejected early in the game, it was not the first ejection for an Eagles player in team history.
That was a sign of his father. He was fired before the game In the year In 2005 with the Atlanta Falcons
You can imagine emotions running high on the Philadelphia side of the field. With the Eagles coming off a loss and sitting at 2-2, and with both Saquon Barkley and Devonta Smith out with injuries, Philadelphia needs a win.
