BALTIMORE — Two of the NFL’s showcase games had the makings of professional wrestling events.
The NFC championship game had its own version of a “Royal Rumble” when both teams left the sidelines and met at midfield in the closing minutes of Philadelphia’s 31-7 rout of San Francisco on Sunday afternoon. The players were eventually separated but not before 49ers left tackle Trent Williams grabbed Eagles safety K’Von Wallace by the collar and slammed him to the ground, earning them both an ejection.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would have been proud, but the NFL should be embarrassed.
