Super Bowl week is officially underway in Arizona as the Eagles and Chiefs descended upon the Footprint Center in Phoenix on Monday to take part in the annual opening night tradition of facing hordes of media members from around the world.
Every year, players are swarmed and asked a wide array of questions on topics that often extend beyond the game itself. For Eagles star A.J. Brown, a relatively routine session with the reporters quickly took an awkward turn after he fielded a question asking if he wanted to take a peek at the Super Bowl LVII script.
The inquiry was, of course, in reference to the popular “NFL games are scripted” conspiracy theory that spawned countless jokes on social media to begin the month. Needless to say, Brown, perhaps out of superstition, made it clear he didn’t want to play along with the joke in his response.
