A chippy first half in Philadelphia even had some (seemingly) unintentional violence.
Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyler Guyton managed to punch a Philadelphia Eagles pass rusher directly in the head on a pass play, but it went unnoticed.

This likely wasn't on purpose.
Guyton is trying to finish his block move right as the defensive player swims past him.
But it's still a painful blow. And if an official had seen it from a certain angle, it might've looked vicious.
Jalen Carter got ejected for the Eagles by spitting on Dak Prescott. Eagles rusher Nolan Smith Jr. got a taunting penalty. And then this happened.
Definitely a lot of heated action between divisional rivals.
