Whenever the Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles meet, you know there will be fireworks on the field. These teams have been rivals for a while, and the fact that they play twice a year, sometimes more, just adds fuel to the fire.

In the latest chapter of this heated rivalry, Washington Redskins defensive tackle Chris Baker and Eagles offensive lineman Jason Peters got into a little fight. It started when Baker hit Philadelphia quarterback after he had released the ball. Peters got in his face, and Baker took it to the next level.
Baker looks like he is dragging a vehicle in one of those ‘strongest man’ competition. What form!
This little scrum resulted in both Baker and Peters being prohibited in participating in the rest of the contest. It looks to me like Baker got a little more for his trouble.
Peters and his team may get the last laugh though. Quarterback Nick Foles just gave the Eagles the lead with seven and a half minutes remaining, hitting Jeremy Maclin for a 27 yard touchdown later in the same drive.
