The Eagles hosted the 49ers on Sunday in a wild-card round showdown, and things got off to a solid start for the home team. Philadelphia jumped out to a 13-10 lead in the first half thanks to a pair of touchdowns from tight end Dallas Goedert and things were clicking for the Birds offensively. However, near the end of the second quarter, tempers flared between coach Nick Sirianni and star wideout A.J. Brown.
The Eagles had the ball at the two-minute warning and Jalen Hurts tried to connect with Brown on a pair of deep passes. But the All-Pro receiver dropped both of them, with the second being particularly tough as the ball hit him square in the hands. Brown was visibly frustrated on the field after the consecutive incompletions and, when he headed to the sideline, had a heated exchange with Sirianni as the Fox cameras caught the pair yelling at each other. Naturally, Eagles head of security “Big Dom” was there to break it up.
