Browns center Cameron Erving and Cowboys defensive end David Irving were ejected on the first series of Sunday’s game in Cleveland for fighting.

Erving and Irving were tangled and on the ground as officials tried to separate them. It appeared as though Erving grabbed Irving’s helmet and then threw it at Irving as he was on the ground.

After brief conversations among the officials and involving both coaches, offsetting penalties were assessed and both were ejected.

The Browns kicked a field goal. The Cowboys answered with a touchdown drive and a Dak Prescott scoring pass to Jason Witten.
