The Philadelphia Eagles‘ winning streak continues, but not all is well within the team’s locker room. A.J. Brown, the Eagles‘ star wide receiver, has openly voiced his dissatisfaction with quarterback Jalen Hurts, citing frustration over the team’s passing game.
Despite the Eagles‘ impressive 22-16 victory over the Carolina Panthers, which improved their record to 11-2, Brown is vocal about his dissatisfaction with Hurts‘ performance. The wide receiver, who has consistently been a standout performer, feels that the team’s aerial attack has not lived up to expectations. While the Eagles continue to dominate on the scoreboard, their passing game, especially through Hurts, has been criticized for being too conservative and focused on short-yardage plays.
Tensions between Brown and Hurts escalate
When asked about areas for improvement after the win, Brown didn’t hesitate to point to the passing game. “Passing,” Brown responded bluntly, suggesting that the offense could improve in this aspect to unlock more potential.
Brandon Graham speaks out on the situation
Longtime Eagles defender Brandon Graham weighed in on the growing tension between the two stars. In a recent radio interview, Graham expressed concern about the deteriorating relationship between Brown and Hurts, noting that while Hurts is putting in the effort, Brown’s response to the situation could improve.
Graham also revealed that what was once a close friendship between the two players has shifted, adding that “things have changed” over time. The veteran defensive player emphasized the importance of keeping personal issues separate from professional obligations, urging both players to focus on the team’s success rather than individual conflicts.
Eagles clinch Playoff spot amidst drama
Despite the drama, the Eagles have already secured a playoff spot, and Brown’s performance in the game against Carolina highlighted his ability to lead in tough situations. He caught all four of his targets for 43 yards, proving his value to the team. However, Brown’s concerns about Hurts‘ slipping production are not unfounded. Hurts has struggled to break the 250-yard mark in passing yards for most of the season, and his overall performance has raised questions among teammates.
As the Eagles push toward the postseason, the tension between their star wide receiver and quarterback could become a bigger storyline. While Brown continues to perform on the field, the relationship with Hurts remains a subject of concern, potentially affecting the team’s overall chemistry in the crucial weeks ahead.
