Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Jordan Mailata interrupted a locker room interview Thursday to remind a reporter of his “ladies first” policy.
The veteran Super Bowl champion fielded questions from reporters ahead of Sunday’s game against Detroit Lions when he stopped NBC Sports’ John Clark mid-question to give the floor to the female reporter in the locker room.

“Did you just come in? Sorry, we’re going first ladies,” Mailata politely said in a video shared on X by WIP-FM Radio reporter Devan Kaney. “Sorry, John. We’ll go first ladies, but then we’ll get back to you, John. Sorry, I just kept going. I was just sticking to the theme, sorry.”

The genuine interruption had laughter around the room. Mailata joked that the female reporter gave him a look when Clark began to speak.
“The girls looked at me as soon as you spoke and I was like, ‘Oh, s—. They’re all looking.’ I will stand firm.”
Kaney was able to ask the next question which focused on AJ Brown’s recent comments about his production in the Eagles offense.

EAGLES STAR WR AJ BROWN SEEKS BIGGER ROLE IN MATCHUP VS. HIGH POWER LIONS
“I just stay in my lane. [The offensive line] will stay in our lane and just block and pick up the protection,” Mailata said when asked if he has spoken to Brown about his recent remarks.
“I don’t think AJ is wrong. I don’t think he’s wrong and if that’s how he feels, that’s how he feels,” he added, noting the team has “moved on from that.”
Brown has made it clear through cryptic social media posts and public comments that he is not happy with his role. But the Eagles are 7-2 and in position to be first NFC East team to win consecutive division titles in two decades.

“It’s not that I don’t care about winning, all I care about is stats, no,” Brown told reporters Wednesday. “It’s been week after week, sometimes we’re not contributing, we’re not doing our job on offense. You can’t just keep slapping a Band-Aid on it if you expect to win later in the year. Do you think you’re just going to do it at the end of the year? It’s not going to happen. … happen. It’s not going to happen. It’s not going to happen.”
