Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz and Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni were involved in an altercation after Sunday’s game. 

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the two had to be separated by Eagles security officer Dom “Big Dom” DiSandro. They added that Sirianni called Ertz to apologize afterwards

“Neither the Eagles coach nor the Washington tight end wanted to get into what happened afterward in Landover, Md. on Sunday, but their brief dust-up saw Ertz take exception to a comment Sirianni made about his performance in the game, sources familiar with the incident told The Inquirer.”

“The coach would later call his former player and apologize over a Zoom conference call, sources said. The ex-Eagles tight end played for Sirianni in the coach’s first year in Philadelphia. 

Ertz was asked about the incident on Thursday. 

“I’m not really going to get into the specifics, but just two people that really love to compete. Nick and I had a great relationship when I was there, we still have a great relationship. I think it’s definitely been blown way out of proportion. We spoke, we’re good. There’s no ill feelings on my part and I don’t think there’s any ill feelings on his part,” Ertz told reporters.

“Just something in the heat of the moment. Probably got blown out of proportion and maybe a misunderstanding but at the end of the day, he and I are fine. Everyone knows how I feel about that place and that building, but at the same time, I love being here. So everything’s been blown way out of proportion,” he added.

This is not the first time Sirianni has been involved in an altercation this season, but for this one, it’s clear that these two have put this in the past.
