RICHMOND, Va. -- A joint practice between the Washington Redskins and New York Jets that grew chippy ended up in what players said was a predictable turn, with a melee along the sidelines that spilled into the crowd. And Redskins players said they knew it was going to happen.
The Redskins-Jets practice was shortened by approximately 25 minutes because of thunder and lightning, but the weather might have prevented more fights.
"In 12 years, I've never seen anything like that," Redskins tight end Vernon Davis said.
But several Redskins said they knew something like this would happen.
