Before the kickoff of Monday Night Football, a mass fight broke out between the Dallas Cowboys and the Los Angeles Chargers.
Players from both teams gathered on the sidelines as they prepared to face off at SoFi Stadium on Monday.
Staff and officials were forced to intervene as tempers flared ahead of the match, with players pushing and shoving each other and even apparently throwing a few punches.
Cowboys defensive end Dante Fowler was seen violently punching Austin Ekeler, knocking the Chargers running back’s helmet off his head.
The fight started after the two teams crossed paths during their respective warm-ups. Tensions rose after Chargers safety Dean Marlowe and Cowboys defensive tackle Mazi Smith collided.

The teams shared two joint practices last summer without any problems, but failed to get through the pre-match warm-up without any problems on Monday.
It comes after Sunday’s game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Cleveland Browns heated up before the game even started on Sunday.
The Browns were the clear underdogs heading into the Week 6 game, but they made it clear they weren’t going down without a fight when a massive brawl started on the sidelines before the game.
About 40 minutes before the game, as players from both teams headed toward the sidelines, the fight broke out.
It appears the commotion was caused when Niners’ Brandon Aiyuk skipped down the sideline near midfield, apparently taunting the Browns players, and bumped into Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore.
Moore retaliated by pushing the San Francisco 49ers wide, which led to Aiyuk’s teammate Deebo Samuel jumping in.
