A.J. Brown Dismisses Decline Talk, References Saquon as Eagles Friction Grows

The remark highlights scrutiny of a sputtering offense despite Philadelphia’s 8-2 start.

Overview

  • Asked Thursday if he is no longer the same player, A.J. Brown replied, "I guess Saquon [Barkley] ain't the same player either, then," before brushing off the premise.
  • Brown has 38 receptions for 457 yards and three touchdowns in nine games, while Saquon Barkley has 662 rushing yards in 10 starts with his yards per carry down to 3.8 from 5.8 last season.
  • Philadelphia ranks 25th in total offense and 28th in passing, yet leads the NFL in red-zone conversion at 75% with a league-low four giveaways, contributing to an 8-2 record.
  • ESPN’s Tim McManus described a noticeable locker-room split, with defensive players upbeat and offensive players frustrated.
  • Following a report that multiple offensive players are frustrated with Jalen Hurts’ approach, Brown declined to engage on the topic, saying, "Ask me about Dallas."
