Washington Football Team DT Jonathan Allen throws punch at teammate Daron Payne on sideline

Washington Football Team defensive tackles Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne had to be separated on the sideline during Sunday night's game against the host Dallas Cowboys after Allen took a swing at his former Alabama teammate.

The two players were sitting next to one another on the bench after an eight-play, 75-yard drive by Dallas early in the second quarter that resulted in the Cowboys' third touchdown in a row that gave it a 28-7 lead.

TV cameras showed Payne and Allen talking to one another. Payne was looking at Allen, who was looking straight ahead.
