Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata interrupted a locker room interview Thursday to remind one reporter about his "ladies first" policy. 

The veteran Super Bowl champion was fielding questions from reporters ahead of Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions when he stopped NBC Sports’ John Clark mid-question to give the floor to the female journalist in the locker room.

"Did you just come in? Sorry, we’re gonna go ladies first," Mailata politely said in a video shared on X by WIP-FM Radio reporter Devan Kaney. "Sorry, John. We’re gonna go ladies first, but then we’ll go back to you, John. I’m sorry, I was just sticking with it. I was just sticking with the theme, I’m sorry."

The genuine interruption prompted laughs from around the room. Mailata joked that the female journalist gave him a look when Clark began speaking. 

"The girls looked at me as soon as you talked, and I thought, ‘Oh, s---. They’re all looking.’ I’m gonna stand my ground." 

Kaney was able to ask the next question, which focused on A.J. Brown’s most recent comments about his production in the Eagles offense.
