The Philadelphia Eagles lost their second game in five days on Thursday night, getting utterly embarrassed by the New York Giants, 34-17 at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ.
After the game, A.J. Brown, who has been at the forefront of controversy involving him and quarterback Jalen Hurts, was asked about the reported meeting Brown had with Saquon Barkley and Hurts. Brown told reporter she didn’t recall of any meeting and seemed to downplay the significance of it.
On Friday, Brown took to Twitter/X to set the record straight, continuing to downplay the meeting, calling it a conversation he had with Hurts and Barkley in the parking lot.
“Just to clear this up,” Brown wrote. “That wasn’t a meeting or a sit-down. I said ‘I don’t recall’ because it got painted like there was tension and Sa [Saquon Barkley] had to step in. That’s not true. I was walking to my car, saw them, and stopped to talk. Nothing more.”
Despite the loss, the Eagles (4-2) still atop the NFC East but it’s clear there’s growing tension between Brown, Hurts and Barkley despite the fact that Brown has been trying to downplay it. He’s frustrated, they are frustrated and the only thing that will curb the tension is by the Eagles getting back on track and winning games.
Philadelphia will next take on the Vikings in Week 7 before another date with the Giants in Week 8.
