Things got chippy during Monday night's matchup between the Eagles and Seahawks. During the second half of Seattle's eventual 20-17 victory, Eagles wideout A.J. Brown was bumped by a member of the Seahawks while Brown was on the visiting sideline. While the man was originally thought to be a staffer, he was actually practice squad offensive lineman Joey Hunt, and his bump cost him.
According to ESPN, Hunt was fined $1,610 by the NFL for unsportsmanlike conduct. Check out what happened, here:

Brown had shoved Seahawks cornerback Michael Jackson, which apparently inspired Hunt to get physical with Brown. Brown responded by shoving and having words with the him before officials intervened.
The Seahawks enjoyed that Hunt was called a staffer, so they had him wear a jersey at practice this week that read "staffer" on the back.

The Eagles are no strangers to sideline issues. The team's head of security, Dom DiSandro, has reportedly been banned from Philadelphia's sideline for the remainder of the year after making contact with the 49ers' Dre Greenlaw back in Week 13.
