AJ Brown Criticizes Eagles With Troubling Remarks
The Philadelphia Eagles secured a narrow 10-7 victory against the Green Bay Packers, improving their season record to 7-2. However, questions persist regarding their passing attack, particularly the role of wide receiver A.J. Brown.
A.J. Brown’s Discontent with Eagles’ Offense
Despite a late touchdown connection between quarterback Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith, Brown’s involvement in the offense continues to be a concern. He missed the previous game against the New York Giants due to a hamstring injury and was expected to be a key player ahead of the November 4 trade deadline. However, the Eagles chose to retain him, emphasizing his value to the team.
After a disappointing performance against the Packers, where he recorded only two catches for 13 yards, Brown expressed his frustrations publicly. During an appearance on Janky Rondo’s Madden stream, he candidly stated, “I mean, no. Where have you been? No… like, family’s good, but everything else? No. It’s a [explicit] show. You on some ‘How you been?’ — I’ve been struggling, brother.”
Fan Reactions to Brown’s Remarks
Fans reacted strongly to Brown’s comments, with many voicing their support and concern for his future with the team. Some felt that if the current situation doesn’t change, he may not return next season. A few notable fan comments included:
- “Yeah, I’m gonna appreciate A.J. as much as possible the rest of this season because if nothing changes, he’s gone.”
- “I hope this offseason, when Howie has to choose between A.J. and Patullo, he makes the right choice… A.J. needs to retire an Eagle.”
- “Get this dude outta here! The Eagles will have no problem winning without him.”
- “I can’t wait until he’s outta here. He’ll always be an Eagle legend, but I don’t see a way he’ll be back next year.”
Brown’s Season Statistics
This season, A.J. Brown has recorded 31 receptions for 408 yards and three touchdowns. His performance marks the least productive year since joining the Eagles, as he previously surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons. Notably, he has experienced three games where he recorded two or fewer receptions and did not exceed 15 yards in any of them.
His most significant performances this season include:
| Date | Opponent | Receptions | Yards | Touchdowns |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept. 21 | Los Angeles Rams | 6 | 109 | 1 |
| Oct. 19 | Minnesota Vikings | 4 | 121 | 2 |
As the season progresses, the Eagles will need to address A.J. Brown’s role in the offense to ensure both his satisfaction and the team’s success.
