AJ Brown gets in argument with Jalen Hurts in Minnesota Vikings vs Philadelphia Eagles: Watch Video

In a Thursday night matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings at Lincoln Financial Field, tensions ran high on the Eagles’ sideline as wide receiver A.J. Brown and quarterback Jalen Hurts engaged in a heated argument during the fourth quarter. Coach Nick Sirianni was forced to intervene in an effort to defuse the situation.

The argument between Brown and Hurts, who had previously enjoyed a close relationship and strong on-field rapport, highlighted the frustration in the Eagles’ passing game. By the fourth quarter, Brown had accumulated just three catches for 17 yards on five targets, a significant departure from his standout performance the previous week.

In their previous game against the New England Patriots, Brown had led the team with seven receptions for 79 yards, contributing to the Eagles’ 25-20 victory. However, in the game against the Vikings, Brown managed just four catches on six targets for 29 yards, ranking second on the team in receiving yards.

Despite the Eagles holding a double-digit lead against the Vikings, Brown’s desire for more targets was evident. Cameras captured Coach Sirianni stepping in to calm down the frustrated wide receiver, who continued to express his desire for increased involvement in the passing game.

As of the time of writing, Brown had yet to find the end zone in the game against the Vikings, underscoring the challenges he faced in securing opportunities to make an impact. In his first season with the Eagles, Brown had set franchise records with 1,496 receiving yards, a remarkable achievement that had raised expectations for his sophomore season.
