As the Washington Redskins and New York Jets scrimmaged against each other Sunday, things got very testy between the two teams.
While media members weren’t permitted to shoot, they did report on multiple incidents taking place.

Now there’s another fight between Washington and Jets players on the sideline. This is wild.

But, courtesy of the many fans in attendance did have cameras, we were able to see the action from multiple angles.

As we can pretty clearly see that there are plenty of willing combatants here. Most fights involve a small group of players going at it, with the rest generally trying to keep peace. But that’s not happening here.
The two teams have a total of three days of practice with each other and will square off on Thursday in preseason action in Washington. It’s safe to say now that the anticipation level for that game has gone up.
