""I don't think it's a bad thing for wanting the ball," he said. "It's not just for targets or anything, to put numbers up, no. I see that we're struggling and I'm a guy that wants the ball in those times when we can't find a way. Give it to me. When the game's on the line, give the ball to me. I want that, I want that pressure, I put it on myself, and I work hard for it. "You can misconstrue whatever perspective about me, but it is what it is, and I don't care to be honest because my teammates know that when the game's on the line, look at me. And I want everybody in the stadium to know that. It's not a secret. I'm not shying away from that.""
""If you're not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw. Don't make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way.""
A.J. Brown accepted responsibility for allowing frustrations to boil over and said his social-media post was not directed at anyone inside the building, including quarterback Jalen Hurts. Brown declined to speak with media after a 31-25 win over the Buccaneers in which he had two catches for seven yards on nine targets. He posted a Bible quote on X about withdrawing if not welcomed. Brown has 14 catches for 151 yards and one touchdown on 28 targets, with 10.8 yards per reception below his 15.6 career average. The 4-0 Eagles rank 31st in passing at 138 yards per game. Brown said he wants the ball in pressure moments and that he and Hurts will talk in meetings to get better.
