Issues didn’t go very properly for the Washington Soccer Crew on “Sunday Evening Soccer.” Washington did not put up a lot of a struggle on the sphere in its 56-14 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. However the Soccer Crew did battle amongst themselves on the sideline. 

In the course of the NBC broadcast, defensive linemen Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne had been noticed having some type of argument. Payne pointedly put certainly one of his fingers into Allen’s face, seemingly lecturing his teammate. That is when Allen snapped, batted Payne’s finger away, after which took a swing at his defensive linemate. 

Allen and Payne had been beforehand faculty teammates at Alabama. Washington drafted every of them within the first spherical, making Allen the No. 17 general choose in 2017 and Payne the No. 13 choose in 2018. They’ve mixed to be one of many higher inside line of defense pairings within the NFL, although the protection general has been far much less efficient this season than it was a yr in the past. 

Maybe the frustrations with how that protection is performing — not simply tonight, however all yr — lastly boiled over. Or maybe there’s another clarification. Taking part in on the identical group and in the identical place group as anyone for a protracted time frame may convey up any variety of issues, in fact. Regardless of the challenge, Washington would certainly favor that the 2 gamers settle it in a roundabout way aside from sideline fisticuffs.
