AJ Brown y Nick Sirianni tuvieron un momento candente en 49ers-Eagles Mas Cipolleti
A.J. Brown is at the center of some drama again, but the latest incident involving the Philadelphia Eagles‘ star wide receiver might have been his most noteworthy to date.
Brown and head coach Nick Sirianni needed to be separated on the sideline after sharing a heated exchange in the final minutes of the first half of Sunday’s wild-card game against the San Francisco 49ers. Eagles senior advisor Dom DiSandro separated Brown and Sirianni as they were appearing to yell at each other.
The exchange took place after the Eagles’ quarterback Jalen Hurts threw two incomplete passes in Brown’s direction. The second incomplete pass came on a third-down play, forcing the Eagles to punt. That’s when the exchange between Brown and Sirianni occurred, with the Eagles’ head coach charging in Brown’s direction.
Brown had three receptions on five targets for 25 yards at the time of the incident.
While Brown has noticeably been frustrated with the Eagles’ offense and his role throughout the season, FOX Sports lead NFL analyst Tom Brady downplayed the matter during the call of Sunday’s game.
“Just a little colorful with his star wideout. They have a great relationship,” Brady said. “That’s what kind of makes a lot of that. They’re just two great competitions in the heat of the moment. They know how much they care for one another.
“Maybe that little bit of accountability sparks A.J. to life as well?”
At halftime, FOX analyst Michael Strahan said, “I don’t understand why you do that in the middle of a game like this because I don’t think that brings out the best in your player.”
