PHILADELPHIA — Nick Sirianni said he didn’t think A.J. Brown’s continued voicing of discontentment has become a distraction, after a video appeared to include the Philadelphia Eagles star telling a streamer that things are «a s— show» outside of his family life.
«No, I don’t think so,» Sirianni said Wednesday. «You can only go from your interactions with everybody and the way they go about their work on a daily basis that you guys aren’t able to see. But no, it’s business as usual.»
Brown was targeted three times in Monday’s 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers and finished with two catches for 13 yards.
Jalen Hurts went to him on a deep pass on fourth-and-6 from the Packers’ 35-yard line that fell incomplete. That gave Green Bay a chance to tie it, but Brandon McManus’ 64-yard attempt was well off the mark and Philadelphia held on to improve to 7-2.
«If you look at how the game went, there were a lot of plays that are going to [Brown] that for different reasons don’t. For instance, [DeVonta Smith]’s touchdown, that play is going to A.J.; they took it away, and [Hurts] threw it over the top. You can’t look at stats and just say this is what’s happening. You can’t paint the picture that way,» Sirianni said.
«A.J. Brown is one of the best receivers in the NFL, so of course we’re trying to get him involved in the game every single time.»
