Philadelphia is in top shape and is even dreaming of the Super Bowl. The Eagles don’t need an internal team dispute at the moment. Now the superstars involved are speaking out.
Philadelphia Eagles fans can breathe a sigh of relief. According to his own statement, wide receiver AJ Brown is not at loggerheads with teammate Jalen Hurts. Brandon Graham recently caused similar rumors.
The defensive end made people sit up and take notice with the following statement: “They were friends before. But things have changed. […] We have to make sure that business doesn’t get in the way of personal things.”
Brown and Hurts deny rumors of a fight
The origin of the speculation was Brown’s criticism of his team’s passing game following the 22:16 triumph over the Carolina Panthers. This could be mistakenly interpreted as an attack against the star quarterback. In reality, however, the relationship between the two Eagles professionals is said not to have suffered as a result.
“BG [Brandon Graham] was just BG. He is emotional. And in this case he simply misspoke. Jalen [Hurts] and I are good together,” “AJ” now made it clear. The 26-year-old also followed up with a denial. He has “a lot of love” for Brown.
Eagles safely in playoff phase despite passing rate
Given the sporting situation, Philadelphia can avoid any disputes anyway. The franchise has already punched its ticket to the playoffs and has eleven wins from 13 games. Nick Sirianni’s selection was able to win all of the last nine duels.
However, there is actually room for improvement when it comes to passing. The team is only ranked 31st with an average of 180.6 yards per game. “I think we can do a lot better,” announced wide receiver DeVonta Smith. This may work on Sunday in the top game against the Pittsburgh Steelers (from 10:25 p.m. in the ran live ticker).
