During Sunday afternoon’s win over the Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A.J. Brown could be seen apparently arguing on the sideline. But as the team heads into its third game of the season, it sounds like Brown is downplaying the incident.
During a press conference this week, A.J. Brown made it clear that the incident was merely a “discussion” between him and Hurts, and that the conversation was not about his targets.
“The sideline discussion, I want you all to know that’s what it was, a discussion,” Brown said according to Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal. “It’s a game that we both love and I want everybody to understand that sometimes emotions are high and that’s kind of what happened. That doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world. That doesn’t mean I’m beefing with Jalen. And no, it was not about targets. I’m sure everybody thought that because he threw me the ball three times in a row afterwards. But no, I was not over there discussing targets. It was about something that happened earlier and we were having a discussion about it.”
Whatever it was they were talking about, it sounds like neither player thinks it’s a big deal moving forward.
