Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A.J. Brown have addressed internal discord following their Week 14 win over the Carolina Panthers. Brown said his comments on Sunday weren’t about Hurts specifically but about the team’s passing limitations. Hurts followed suit by stressing that “we’re good,” which is also how Brown categorized their relationship.
Veteran Brandon Graham sparked controversy with a comment suggesting there was a legitimate conflict between Hurts and Brown, but both players downplayed the situation. Hurts acknowledged Graham’s comments were out of place, while Brown described them as characteristic of Graham’s emotional nature.
Hurts emphasized that the team’s focus is on doing what’s best for the team, rather than individual player dynamics. The Eagles’ offense has evolved with the addition of Saquon Barkley, who has made a strong case for NFL Most Valuable Player in 2024. With an 11-2 record, the team appears to be working despite its inconsistent passing game.
In a statement of unity, Hurts said that his focus is on doing what’s best for the team and taking pride in being a leader. He believes everyone shares this focus, and he will continue to work on self-improvement to achieve team success. The Eagles’ commitment to teamwork seems to be paying off, at least on the field.
