PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A brawl broke out on the Redskins' sideline with 9:55 remaining in the fourth quarter Sunday after Washington's Chris Baker laid out Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles on an apparent interception and was ejected.

While Bashaud Breeland was returning the pick that later was overturned on video review, Baker blindsided Foles, putting his shoulder into the quarterback's chest. Foles was down on the ground for a few minutes as players from both teams pushed and shoved each other.

Defensive lineman Baker was ejected, as was Philadelphia left tackle Jason Peters for his role in the melee on the sideline.

Foles finally was helped to his sideline — he did not miss a play — as referee Tony Corrente ordered both teams to their benches.

The play then went under video review and was overturned.

The game already had gotten nasty with a slew of penalties and injuries.
