A fight broke out in Jacksonville on Sunday after a hit by Azeez Al-Shaair on Trevor Lawrence.
The Texans linebacker was ejected from the game and the Jaguars quarterback was carted off after several minutes on the ground.
After Al-Shaair dove head first into the sliding Lawrence, several Jaguars players came to defend their quarterback. Here's how it unfolded:

The fight moved to the Jaguars' sideline as trainers tended to Lawrence, who was quickly ruled out with a concussion.
Lawrence sat up and rode in the front of the cart into the locker room as Mac Jones took over at quarterback for the remainder of the game.

As a result of the altercation between the two teams, Jaguars cornerback Jarrian Jones was also ejected along with Al-Shaair. Jaguars tight end Evan Engram was given an unnecessary roughness penalty after he immediately charged at Al-Shaair following the hit.
