Getty AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts created Philadelphia Eagles news with their interaction on the sideline during the team's Week 11 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Things appeared to get heated between Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown and quarterback Jalen Hurts during the team’s Week 11 win over the Chiefs. Cameras caught Brown having an animated discussion with Hurts on the sideline after an interception. The interaction prompted plenty of Eagles news as DeVonta Smith stood in the middle to try to deescalate the conversation.

The turnover occurred with a little more than 11 minutes remaining in the second quarter with the score tied at 7. Peyton Manning noted during the “Manningcast” simulcast that Brown put Hurts in a “bad spot” by changing the route.

“It’s just hard because … Jalen is not really expecting that,” Manning explained during the November 20, 2023 broadcast. “You can’t really turn an in route into a post.

“…I hate to keep saying that they’re running old Colts plays, but they are. That play was bulge. It’s a little inside pivot swing hook with a wrap end route on the outside. So, I feel like basically the Colts gave Philly all of our plays. And I’ve never turned the in route into a post. So, he put him in a bad spot right there.”

Brown nearly got the ball back for Philadelphia as he forced a fumble after the interception. It turns out Chiefs defender L’Jarius Sneed was ruled down negating the fumble.
