Eagles Super Bowl Champ Risks NFL Fine After Illegal Play on CeeDee Lamb During MNF

The Philadelphia Eagles escaped a 15-yard penalty during the Week 7 game against the Dallas Cowboys. It all happened during a third-and-three with about 12:20 remaining in the second quarter, as the Eagles led 14-10.

Visuals of the foul play began circulating on the internet, with the fans calling the officials out for ignoring a potential penalty on the Eagles. The visuals showed Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell blatantly grabbing Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb’s facemask and twisting it while attempting to tackle and stop the receiver in his route. However, the officials let it all slide. 

“How do you miss this incredibly obvious face mask??” DNP Sports’ Chad Fisher wrote on X in the caption as he shared the visual of the foul.

“Eagles CB Quinyon Mitchell got away with what should’ve been a face mask penalty while trying to bring down Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb,” Eagles writer Anthony DiBona wrote on X.

According to Rule 12, Section 2, Article 15 of the NFL rulebook, twisting, turning, or pulling an opponent’s facemask should result in a 15-yard penalty. Of course, it will also give the offense an automatic first down if the defense committed the foul.
