"A.J. Brown had nothing to say - to reporters after the Philadelphia Eagles' playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers, that is. Philadelphia's star receiver did have plenty to say to Coach Nick Sirianni - and vice-versa - during a sideline spat late in the second quarter of the game that eventually marked an end to the Eagles' attempt at defending their Super Bowl title from last season."
"Massive winds blew through Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field throughout the game, possibly contributing to a rough outing for Brown, who caught three of the seven passes for 25 yards and tied a career high with two dropped passes. One of those drops came on 3rd-and-9 with a little more than two minutes remaining in the first half. Brown had created some separation from 49ers cornerback Renardo Green deep along the right sideline, but the pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts bounced off the receiver's fingers."
"Brown was slow to get off the field following the play, prompting Sirianni to run yelling down the sideline and eventually confront the three-time Pro Bowl selection face-to-face. The men appeared to exchange words for a few seconds before being separated by Eagles chief security officer Dom DiSandro. Brown went on to remove his helmet and yell more in Sirianni's direction."
