Eagles beat writer Jeff McLane was ejected from the press box during Sunday’s game following a dispute with the team’s public relations department, according to fellow reporters who were present for the incident.

According to Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News, McLane, a writer for The Philadelphia Inquirer, was one of a group of writers that was asked by a PR staffer to quiet down. McLane took exception and went over to the staffer to discuss the incident, and was booted around 10 or 15 minutes later by the team’s senior vice president Anne Gordon.
