NFL confirms there will be no suspensions from Saturday’s brawl between Tyler Steen and the entire Commanders defense

The NFL confirmed Monday what everyone already expected. There will be no suspensions from Saturday night’s fight when Tyler Steen and the Eagles went at it with the entire Washington Commanders defense.

Instead, the NFL will review the altercation and hand out discipline in the form of fines. Basically, players’ wallets will feel it, and the league will call it “discipline” while keeping the players on the field in effort to grab some “charity money” and move on.

Fine. Whatever. It’s honestly great news, especially for the Eagles.

Late in the fourth quarter, after the Eagles jammed in a two-point conversion to stretch the lead to 29-10, the Commanders completely lost the plot.

What should have been a quiet walk to the locker room turned into a full-on brawl near end zone. Punches were thrown, officials panicked, and Washington embarrassed itself one final time this season.

When it was over, three players were ejected: Tyler Steen, and Commanders defenders Javon Kinlaw and Quan Martin. Somehow, Mike Sainristil avoided an ejection despite being right in the middle of everything, which remains one of the more impressive feats of the night.

Tyler Steen basically got jumped. Multiple Commanders swarmed him, and Steen responded exactly how you’d expect an offensive lineman to respond when an entire defense decides it’s time to throw hands.

Tyler Steen vs. the world.

Tyler Steen vs Everybody: Commanders season-long meltdown ends in brawl after Eagles put them away

The timing said everything. This wasn’t toughness. This wasn’t rivalry football. This was frustration boiling over from a team that entered the season wildly overhyped and now sits at 4-11, staring down the reality that the year was a waste of time.

The Commanders talked all offseason. They talked early in the year. They talked themselves into relevance for weeks and when the Eagles finally put them away, they did what bad teams always do by lashing out and pretending they still had fight left in their walking corpses.

Meanwhile, the Eagles handled their business the right way.

They won 29-18, clinched the NFC East for the second straight season, and officially eliminated the Cowboys from playoff contention. Then they walked off the field with the division title in hand while Washington melted down behind them.

No suspensions means Tyler Steen won’t miss time, which matters. The fines will come, but that’s a small price to pay. At this point in the season, you’d rather hit the wallet than the depth chart.

For Washington, though, none of it really matters. Their season has been over for weeks. Saturday night was just the final confirmation.

Soft team. Lost year. Predictable ending.

The Eagles sent their message on the scoreboard. The Commanders responded with chaos. That tells you everything you need to know.
