The most significant fight erupted after Amon-Ra St. Brown and Dru Phillips exchanged words, leading to the All-Pro receiver shoving a Giant, prompting both teams to clash and engage in a flurry of punches.
However, the real shock came shortly after when Giants quarterback Daniel Jones jumped into the fray during another brawl.
Giants offensive lineman Jon Runyan found himself on the ground, restrained by a Lions defensive lineman, which prompted Jones to deliver a hit from behind.
“When situations like that arise, you try to stand up for your teammates,” Jones commented afterwards.

Coming off a torn ACL suffered on November 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders, Jones has been participating fully in training camp — and it shows.
Last season was disappointing for the Giants, finishing with a 6-11 record after a surprising playoff run in 2022. However, recent enhancements, including the acquisitions of Brian Burns and new offensive linemen and the drafting of Malik Nabers with the sixth pick, have created optimism, as seen in Hard Knocks.
As for the Lions, they were just half a game shy of making their first Super Bowl appearance but squandered a 24-7 halftime lead, allowing the San Francisco 49ers to advance instead.
