However, Brown and Hurts certainly quelled the chatter with their performance against Pittsburgh. Head coach Nick Sirianni had nothing but good things to say about Brown's leadership following the game.
“A.J. is one of the best people we have on this team," Sirianni stated. "Just know he deeply cares about being a great football player. I know he deeply cares about his teammates. And I get to see that on a daily basis. A.J. has been phenomenal since the day he stepped foot onto this team.
"Man, I think the way he's played elevates everybody. The way he plays football elevates everybody. Everyone leads a little differently. There is also a reason that A.J. has the ‘C’ on his chest. So everyone leads a little bit differently. A.J. is a great player, great leader, great person.”
The Eagles are fortunate to have Brown on their roster, and they will now aim for their 11th consecutive win this Sunday against the Washington Commanders.
The Philadelphia Eagles faced a challenging week recently, but it ultimately led to one of their most significant victories of the season.
Philadelphia convincingly defeated the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers with a score of 27-13. The Eagles particularly excelled in the latter part of the game, effectively taking the ball out of Russell Wilson's hands, which secured Philadelphia's 10th consecutive win and their 12th victory of the season overall.
Prior to this win, the Eagles dealt with a turbulent week due to various distractions surrounding the team. AJ Brown made a remark about the offense that was interpreted as a jab at Jalen Hurts after the team’s previous victory over the Carolina Panthers. This sparked a wave of comments from both players within the team and those outside the organization.
