A fight broke out for the third time during the Dallas Cowboys and St. Louis Rams' joint practices on Tuesday afternoon. Tension had been building for the Cowboys the last few days, with players Dez Bryant and Tyler Patmon being involved in scuffles. It happened again:.
Third fight with Rams and Cowboys and this is very very very ugly. Not good. Time to call it off.

Bryant was in the middle of it all, without a helmet, and appeared to get caught with a punch.

Media and fans rushed aside to avoid the fighting ball of players in an intense moment that went way too far.

The teams were finally separated and will have to see if practices will continue. The teams do not face off in 2015, and maybe that's a good thing.
Some players in this fight with no helmets, guys on the ground. Teams have been separated and are on opposite fields.
