Brown, following the Eagles' second straight loss on Thursday night against the Giants, opted to purposely not acknowledge that it had even occurred.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley both said they met with Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown recently to talk about how to fix the offense. After the offense did not look fixed in Thursday night’s loss to the Giants, Brown disputed meeting with his teammates.
Brown avoided the topic Thursday, but he followed up with a post on X Friday. “I said ‘I don’t recall’ because it got painted like there was tension and [Barkley] had to step in. That's not true."
