PHILADELPHIA — Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown acknowledged his «emotions were high» during last week's victory against the Minnesota Vikings but said his animated sideline interaction with Jalen Hurts was not indicative of an issue between himself and his quarterback. «The little sideline discussion, I want you all to know that's what it was — it was a discussion,» Brown said at his locker stall Thursday afternoon. «This is a game that we both love, and I want everybody to understand that sometimes emotions run high.
That doesn't mean it's the end of the world. That doesn't mean I'm beefing with Jalen.» Television cameras showed an exchange between Brown and Hurts at the start of the fourth quarter.
Coach Nick Sirianni interjected and had a word with Brown as Hurts walked away. Hurts proceeded to target Brown three times on the following series, including on a 25-yard touchdown pass that was nullified by a penalty.
Multiple teammates suggested afterward that the root of Brown's frustration was about wanting to be more involved in the offense.
