Head Coach Nick Sirianni of the Philadelphia Eagles addressed the concerns surrounding A.J. Brown’s recent discontent. Brown, a star wide receiver, has expressed frustrations that were highlighted in a video appearing to show him describing conditions outside his family life as a “s—show.” Sirianni clarified that he does not believe these sentiments have led to any distractions within the team.
A.J. Brown’s Performance and Ongoing Concerns
In a recent game against the Green Bay Packers, the Eagles secured a narrow 10-7 victory. During that game, Brown had two receptions for just 13 yards, having been targeted only three times. Currently, he has amassed 31 catches for a total of 408 yards and three touchdowns over eight games. If this trend continues, he is on pace for a career-low of 867 receiving yards.
Sirianni’s Perspective on Team Dynamics
When asked about Brown’s ongoing frustrations and his impact on team morale, Sirianni was firm in his belief that operations remain smooth. “It’s business as usual,” he stated. He emphasized the importance of Brown to the team’s strategic game plans for upcoming matches.
Context of the Recent Incident
The video that stirred speculation featured a streamer, JankyRondo, during a game of “Madden.” The streamer inquired about Brown’s wellbeing, and a voice, allegedly Brown’s, responded negatively, acknowledging family wellness but expressing dissatisfaction with other facets of life. Notably, Brown did not appear in the video.

Sirianni remarked on Brown’s involvement in the game plans. “He’s working hard and is a crucial part of this team,” he stated.

However, Sirianni maintains that efforts to incorporate him into plays are ongoing, and his talent is clear.
