The Philadelphia Eagles squeaked by the Carolina Panthers to win their 11th game of the NFL season on Sunday. But, contrary to popular opinion, winning does not cure all that ails. During the game star receiver A.J. Brown was visibly frustrated with how the offense was struggling and bluntly stated "passing" was the reason the unit was unable to get anything going when asked by reporters after the game.
This was interpreted by the larger NFL world as a criticism of quarterback Jalen Hurts. Longtime Eagles defender Brandon Graham fanned the flames of that narrative by saying on Monday that Hurts and Brown's relationship has changed in recent years. On Wednesday, Brown spoke publicly for the first time on the situation.
