The Los Angeles Rams got a huge comeback victory on the road Sunday, beating the Ravens 20-19. It wasn't all roses though for the Rams, as All Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and teammate Taylor Rapp got into a fight on the field.
Early in the first quarter, as the Rams defense was getting ready to huddle on the field, Ramsey approached Rapp and threw a punch to Rapp's facemask. Rapp took offense and tried going back at Ramsey, but was held back by other teammates.
After the game, Rams head coach Sean McVay spoke to the media. He shared his thoughts on the dust up between Rams defenders.
Sean McVay just now compared Jalen Ramsey and Taylor Rapp’s altercation in first quarter to a fight between competitors and brothers. Says they’ve moved on.

McVay didn't believe it was anything the team needs to worry about. It was simply two competitive players who want to do their job.
The Rams defense played great for most of the game Sunday. Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford threw yet another interception returned for a touchdown. That helped create an early 10-0 deficit for the Rams.
Los Angeles sacked Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley five times, and picked him off once as well. Baltimore was only 4 for 14 on 3rd down and did not score in the red zone.
Ramsey and the Rams secondary did a great job as well. They held the Ravens receiving group to only 105 total yards receiving on 12 catches. Only the Ravens Pro Bowl tight end, Mark Andrews, had a solid game Sunday.
Los Angeles improved to 12-4 with the win and keep their slight hopes alive for the overall #1 seed in the NFC playoffs.
