The defending champion Philadelphia Eagles is one of the two teams entering week 5 of the season with a spotless record.
But AJ Brown, the team’s wide receiver, has only one reception of a hit in the first four games. Brown’s apparent frustration seemed to reach a tilting point after finishing the victory of week 4 of the Eagles against the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay with only seven reception yards on two sockets.
“If you are not welcomed, not listened to, you remove quietly. Do not make a stage. Haule your shoulders and be on your way,” posted Brown on social networks on Sunday.

Brown’s post seemed to be a paraphrase of a biblical verse, Matthieu 10:14.
The 2021 season scored the only time that Brown finished a year less than the 1,000 yards mark. He appeared in 13 games with the Titans du Tennessee that year.

The 28-year-old refused to speak to journalists after the 31-25 victory in Tampa, Florida. Philly’s offensive concerns were noticeable during the second half of week 4 when the unit failed to finish a pass in the last two quarters.
On Wednesday, Brown spoke with the media and addressed his cryptic post. Bowler’s three time pro took responsibility to allow his emotions to overflow.

“Obviously, Sunday after the match, I let my frustrations boil,” said Brown. “I did not speak to the media. I had the chance to correct my frustrations and I continued to let them boil. It is on me, and I take a complete responsibility for that.”
He also clearly indicated that his article “was not directed against anyone” within the Eagles organization.
“My message on Twitter was not directed against anyone in the building. Not my coach, not my quarter, the GM, no one. That is why I am in full responsibility. I also have an open communication with all my coaches and my quarter.”

Brown has a voice story about his apparent dissatisfaction with his role in the Eagles offensive, which aroused worries about whether he wanted to play elsewhere than late.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni has minimized these concerns.
“I do not put anything back on his desire to play big football, his desire to be a good teammate, his desire to be here,” said Sirianni on Monday.
The Eagles rewarded Brown with a three -year contract extension before the 2024 season.
