The NFC Championship game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers was chippy from the start, and things started to really devolve as the clock passed five minutes left in the game, which was a 31-7 blowout in the Eagles’ favor.
With 4:19 left in the game, and right after a Christian McCaffrey eight-yard run, the usual pushing and shoving turned into a real brawl, which was punctuated by 49ers left tackle Trent Williams throwing Eagles safety K’Von Wallace to the ground. This following Wallace getting into it in the middle of a large group of 49ers players.
A massive brawl breaks out as frustration boils over. Trent Williams (#71) let it all out and was ejected. #Eagles S K’Von Wallace was also tossed (literally and figuratively).pic.twitter.com/9WlKi9rODY

Referee John Hussey cleared the field, sending both teams to the benches, and then disqualified Williams and Wallace from the remainder of the game with matching unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
As for Wallace’s status for Super Bowl LVII, the disqualification would not carry over to that game, unless he was suspended by the league.
