The Washington Commanders were, well, in command early in their Week 13 game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, going up 21-0 in the first quarter.
Following one point-after kick, Commanders and Titans players had to be separated as tensions climbed. Titans defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons and Commanders offensive lineman Sam Cosmi appeared to be the two players mostly involved in the brouhaha.

“Now we have shades of Michigan and Ohio State,” CBS broadcaster Andrew Carlton said, referencing the incident that occurred after Saturday’s game between the two rivals.
Washington already was up 21-0 in the game through the first quarter.
Jayden Daniels’ touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin made it so. Daniels and Brian Robinson Jr. each had a rushing touchdown in the game as well.
