Phillips gets in the fan's face. It sounds like Phillips yells "What's up? You called me a (expletive)? Say it to my face." Lawson, Oliver and Rousseau follow Phillips, but not to restrain him.

A Bills staff member and linebacker Leonard Floyd walk over to direct the players out of the altercation and back to the bench.

The game was still being played in the background, with the Bills running an offensive play.

It was the Bills defense that got pushed around in the second half and overtime, allowing 23 points after halftime in the 37-34 loss. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had a 12-yard game-ending touchdown run in overtime.
