Key Highlights
- Brown still finished the season with over 1,000 yards — his fourth consecutive time hitting the mark in Philly —, and when the lights shined brightest in Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, he failed to deliver. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementDuring the first half, there was an Eagles drive in which Brown missed a catchable ball on first down, was banged up, came back on the field for third down and missed again.
- He didn’t leave the field quick enough, though, and soon he and head coach Nick Sirianni were having a heated exchange that had to be broken up by Big Dom.
- In the second half, Jalen Hurts targeted Brown deep again on a big third down, and it went right through the receivers hands. When asked about the tense interaction at halftime, Sirianni scoffed at the notion that is was anything more than an emotional moment they would both move on from, but that seems unlikely with how things went post-game. Everyone has off nights, but after making so much noise earlier in the season about wanting to be relied on in these exact moments, he fell short.
- Not only that, but to be slow off the field and jaw back-and-forth with Sirianni, it wasn’t a good look.
- And, to make matters worse, instead of standing up and answering questions and taking accountability, Brown declined to speak to reporters altogether after the game, shook hands with a few teammates, and then left.
