In the 34:28 win over the Minnesota Vikings a few days ago, AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts verbally attacked each other. However, the relationship between the two NFL professionals from the Philadelphia Eagles has apparently not suffered any lasting damage.
In the game against the Vikings, Brown and Hurts had a heated exchange in the final quarter. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni ultimately had to separate the two brawlers. Brown recently downplayed the incident.
“That little sideline discussion – I want everyone to know it was just that – was a discussion,” the wide receiver revealed on the sidelines of practice on Thursday. “This is a game we both love and I want everyone to understand that emotions run high sometimes. It doesn’t mean the end of the world.”
He also didn’t argue with Hurts, even if the press claimed otherwise. “I know everyone took that out of context, but it’s no big deal. He and I are still on the same page, we’re still trying to be great and most importantly, get wins,” Brown said.
AJ Brown avoided media after NFL match
Although the game was ultimately won in front of the home crowd, Brown then left the stadium without speaking to the journalists present again. According to his own statement, the 26-year-old only wanted to use this measure to protect himself from saying something thoughtless.
“The reason I left after the game is because my emotions were running high and I had to step away. Because I know that [die Medien] want a story and you’re all doing your job, but I just needed to clear my head,” Brown revealed.
In the period that followed, media representatives exaggerated the conflict between him and Hurts into a “big deal”. The relationship between the two NFL players remains intact. “Nothing will change,” Brown concluded.
