What began as a two-point conversion attempt sparked into a massive scuffle late in Week 16's 29-18 Philadelphia Eagles win over the host Washington Commanders, and a fired-up Fred Johnson was smack dab in the middle of a spirited sequence of events.
The veteran offensive tackle got into it with several angry Commanders shortly after Saquon Barkley hit paydirt on the controversial two-point attempt, which stretched an already comfortable Eagles lead to 19 with under five minutes remaining.
Fireworks soon commenced, as several players from each team joined the extended tussle. A result featuring six flags and three players tossed - including teammate Tyler Steen and Washington's Javon Kinlaw and safety Quan Martin - suggested there won't be many Christmas cards exchanged between these heated NFC East rivals.
Fred Johnson speaks out about fight in Eagles-Commanders game
With the Eagles securing a second straight NFC East crown - just the second repeat performance in the past 21 years - Johnson was in no rush to put out the flames post-game, either.
"I guess they were upset, but I don't give a f***"," said Johnson, per ESPN reporters Jon Keim and Tim McManus. "It's football. You can't control what the next person does."
Since re-joining the Eagles late this past offseason, Johnson has been an integral presence up front, filling in admirably to become one of the league's most reliable swing tackles. His locker-room take on the melee echoed sentiments similar to the "nobody likes us, we don't care" mantra embraced by teammates and fans alike for several years now, too.
