Philadelphia Eagles may have won the NFC East and have gigantic concerns about its MVP candidate Carson Wentz’s potential season-ending torn ACL injury. Yet, Eagles defensive end Chris Long clashed with Rams fans at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles, California.
It all started when Brandon Graham picked up a Rams fumble and returned it for a 16-yard touchdown, as the time expired, Graham wanted to attempt to do a Lambeau Leap into Eagles fans. The few Rams fans, who were in the end zone by the Eagles fans, were not having it.
According to NBC Sports Philadelphia’s cameras, a Rams fan attempted to push Long down. He then got into a heated exchange with the fan in question.

The fan in question, who was wearing a Todd Gurley jersey, gave Long the finger.

The Eagles won the game 43-35 over the Rams, as they improved to 11-2 on the season. In addition, Long caused the No. 1 overall pick, Jared Goff, in the 2016 NFL Draft to fumble the ball in the game, which helped sway the momentum into the Eagles’ favor.
Long — who is in his first season with the Eagles — has had 17 tackles on the season thus far, not including the Rams game. He also had 11 quarterback hits and two tackles for a loss.
He had 3.0 sacks and two tackles for a loss. Long also had two forced fumbles.
They say our Philly fans are rough 🤔
