The Philadelphia Eagles were better than the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, but not everything was so cut and dry. For example, during the first quarter, Calvin Austin III and Darnell Washington were both flagged for unnecessary roughness. Meanwhile, Eagles players threw punches and were not penalized. It was a bizarre and frustrating scenario. It sounds like Austin doesn’t regret his actions, though.

“If I see plenty of Eagles come up and surround him, yeah, I’m gonna come in and help my dog,” Austin said after the game via Mike DeFabo of The Athletic on Twitter.
