This is what you wanna see in a rivalry game!
The New York Giants and Washington Commanders might be competing to see who the worst team is gonna be in the NFC East when the season is over, but in their Week 11 contest, these two brought flashes of the old college football rivalry between Miami and Florida State in the 90’s.
Well, sort of.
The Commanders were absolutely horrendous and did nothing with the exception of their pass rush, and even then. But then they brought out their inner 90’s Seminole (I guess we’ll give them the FSU label since they have similar colors), as quarterback Sam Howell managed to pull off a crazy run for a touchdown, which then resulted in fireworks between New York and Washington.
Fighting, shoving, ejections … right after an eye-popping touchdown … oh yeah, these guys gave us some good rivalry football today.
WATCH:
Crazy sequence here, Howell scores, but McKinney puts him on the ground, and Washington comes to defend their QB — didn’t look like anything crazy, but a fight ensues! #NYG pic.twitter.com/ngumgOkGHC

Yes! This is what I wanna see in my rivalry football games! Crazy touchdowns and punches thrown!
After all, it’s a rivalry, and it’s football, and what’s supposed to happen when the two mix?
