New Orleans Saints center Erik McCoy literally launched a Dallas Cowboys player’s helmet into the air during a joint practice on Tuesday, and yeah, things definitely got heated out there.

Total Chaos in Joint Practice

Reports are saying the practice exploded into not one, not two, but seven different fights! The drama kicked off with a huge brawl involving the Dallas defense and the New Orleans offense. McCoy, right in the middle of it all, showed everyone what was up by launching that helmet. It wasn’t just big men throwing hands either, even Dak Prescott was spotted exchanging some words with Chase Young. You know it’s getting intense when the quarterbacks are in the mix!

What’s Next for the Saints and Cowboys?

These two teams are set to face off again soon, in each team’s third and final preseason contest on August 28. Usually, a preseason game doesn’t have much at stake, right? But after Tuesday’s explosive practice, you can bet there’s some serious extra motivation on both sides. While individual players will still be fighting for those crucial roster spots, the spilled-over tensions from practice are going to add a whole new level of fire to that game. It’s not just about making the team anymore, it’s personal.
