Another AJ Brown moment of frustration once again prompted Philadelphia Eagles reporters to ask head coach Nick Sirianni about his star receiver.
And Sirianni is tired of hearing about it.
“Guys, I’m almost done answering these questions about this,” he said when further asked about Brown’s latest comments, which came during a “Madden” stream with YouTube personality Janky Rondo. “He works hard and he’s a big part of the game plan and he wants to go forward. He works like crazy when he’s here and we’re happy to have him.”

During the “Madden” stream, Brown was asked by Janky Rondo how everything was going, both professionally and personally.
Brown replied “No,” with a laugh and began to explain.
“Where have you been?” he said to Janky Rondo while chuckling. “Like, family good, yeah. Anything else? No. … It’s a s— show. … You on, ‘How are you?’ I’m fighting, brother.”

The reigning Super Bowl champions are well on their way back to the playoffs, owning a 7-2 record through their first nine games of the season. However, Brown’s frustrations at not scoring through most of those games have been a big story since the beginning of the season.
On “Monday Night Football,” the Eagles posted a 10-7 victory over the Green Bay Packers on the road. Brown had two catches on the opening drive, but he didn’t see another target until the Eagles’ final offensive play of the game — an underhanded Jalen Hurts punt to the end zone that went incomplete.
Sirianni was first asked if Brown was becoming a distraction with his off-field comments about his individual performances.

“No, I don’t think so,” he replied. “You can only walk away from your interactions and how they do their work on a day-to-day basis that you guys aren’t able to see. No, it’s business as usual.”
But the 28-year-old star receiver clearly isn’t satisfied with his role in the Eagles’ offense, despite what the win-loss record says. There were even rumors that Brown could request a trade before this year’s deadline passed, but he will remain with the team for the rest of the season.
This is a receiver who has produced three straight 1,000-yard seasons, his most recent coming even with Saquon Barkley posting a 2,000-plus-yard rushing campaign in his first year in Philadelphia. Brown has also had at least seven touchdowns in each of those three seasons.
In 2025, Brown has accounted for 408 yards and three touchdowns on 31 catches through eight games. He is currently on pace to have the lowest single-season production of his career, which was 869 yards in his final year with the Tennessee Titans, where he played just 13 games.

During the “Madden” game, he joked that he had to “show him some love,” referring to his own player on the Eagles when he threw a long completion for a touchdown.
“Good things happen when you get touch,” he added.
Brown later showed his son his “Madden” stats for the game, in which his own player had nine receptions for 168 yards and two touchdowns. Janky Rondo said it must be cool to be able to show his son he’s in a video game.
“I’m telling you, brother,” Brown replied. “It’s the only highlight of the damn football I’ve lived in right now.”
And for those fantasy managers who have been frustrated with owning Brown throughout the season, he also offered some advice during the stream.

“If you got me into fantasy, man, get off me,” he said.
While this continues to be a story, the Eagles are preparing for a big “Sunday Night Football” game against the Detroit Lions in Week 11. They will host another NFC contender at Lincoln Financial Field for the primetime game.
