Sirianni, A.J. Brown Separated During EaglesWild Card Loss to 49ers

Sirianni later said he was trying to get Brown off the field to prevent a too-many-men penalty.

Overview

  • Fox cameras showed a heated first-half exchange between Nick Sirianni and A.J. Brown that ended with security chief Dom DiSandro stepping in.
  • The confrontation followed two deep incompletions to Brown and a three-and-out as the punt unit prepared to take the field.
  • Sirianni downplayed the moment on FOX at halftime and later explained he was urging Brown off to avoid a penalty because a punt was coming.
  • Philadelphia fell 23-19 to San Francisco, ending its season; Brown had three catches for 25 yards and declined to address reporters postgame.
  • The episode underscored Brown’s season-long frustration with the offense and drew on-air criticism of Sirianni from Michael Strahan.
