“Cries about targets then does this” “He quit on that route”: NFL fans flame A.J. Brown after Eagles WR second-guesses Jalen Hurts' pass

A.J. Brown expressed frustration over fewer targets from Jalen Hurts, contributing to missed opportunities in the Eagles’ 21-17 loss, their first defeat of the season.

  • On Sunday, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown second-guessed a Jalen Hurts pass after the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Denver Broncos at Lincoln Financial Field, marking their first defeat of the season.
  • Reports during the week noted that A.J. Brown signaled unhappiness with the Philadelphia Eagles offense and posted last week hinting he wanted a trade amid reduced targets.
  • Late in the third quarter, with the team leading 17-3, Brown slowed on a deep route and the connection became an incompletion; he was targeted eight times and finished with five catches.
  • The defeat leaves the team under immediate pressure in the NFC playoff race as the Philadelphia Eagles offense stalled and Denver Broncos scored 18 unanswered points for a 21-17 win.
  • The Eagles, facing a short week before Thursday's trip to MetLife Stadium, must quickly repair the strained relationship between A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts despite muted trade possibility.
