Eagles Address Rumored Rift Between Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown
Head coach Nick Sirianni and team leaders downplay reports of tension, emphasizing unity as Philadelphia pursues its tenth straight win.
- Wide receiver A.J. Brown voiced frustration with the Eagles' passing game after Sunday's win, citing a need for improvement while denying excessive in-game communication with Jalen Hurts.
- Defensive end Brandon Graham stirred speculation by suggesting a shift in Hurts and Brown's relationship but later apologized for making assumptions and publicly addressing the issue.
- Head coach Nick Sirianni defended Brown's comments, framing them as a collective desire to improve rather than a critique of Hurts, and highlighted the pair's strong off-field bond.
- Philadelphia's offense has leaned heavily on Saquon Barkley and the league's top-ranked rushing attack, with the passing game ranking near the bottom of the NFL in attempts.
- Despite the passing struggles, the Eagles have clinched a playoff berth and remain focused on maintaining their nine-game win streak heading into a matchup against the Steelers.
