Sunday's game between the Washington Redskins and the Philadelphia Eagles turned ugly in the fourth quarter after Washington defensive lineman Chris Baker blindsided Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles with a block.

The hit on Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles was obviously a topic of discussion after the game.

Foles said, via ESPN.com's Phil Sheridan, that it was “a dirty play. He got me pretty good.”

Eagles lineman Jason Peters talked about the hit on Foles, via Sheridan: “He was cheap shotted. I mean, he cheap shotted [Foles] and he’s not even trying to make a play. So I just reacted. I shouldn't have did what I did, but I was just trying to protect my quarterback.”
