Tensions boiled over between Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown and head coach Nick Sirianni during the second quarter of Sunday’s NFC Wild Card Round game against the San Francisco 49ers. The two got into a heated exchange on the sideline after Brown dropped a deep pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts on a critical third down.
Philadelphia had to punt the football back to the 49ers before halftime and Sirianni wasn’t happy. Brown and Sirianni had to be separated by Dom DiSandro , the team’s senior advisor to the general manager/chief security officer/ gameday coaching operations.
