In a heated NFC Championship matchup, tempers flared between Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown and Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore. The confrontation occurred late in the first half during a two-point conversion attempt, where Lattimore initiated contact, leading to a penalty against him for unnecessary roughness. Brown, known for keeping his composure, stated he would only retaliate if provoked further.

Despite the drama, the Eagles continued to dominate the game, eventually winning 55-23 against the Commanders, securing their spot in the Super Bowl for the second time in three years. Lattimore's attempts to disrupt opponents have been well-documented, particularly his ongoing rivalry with Mike Evans. However, his performance on the field was less than stellar, allowing significant yardage in coverage during this pivotal game.
