UPDATE: The tension between Philadelphia Eagles stars AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts has escalated, raising eyebrows across the NFL as the team maintains its strong momentum with an 8-2 record. Despite their successful start to the 2025 NFL season, whispers of discord are growing louder, and former Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson has weighed in with concerning insights.
On his podcast earlier this week, Jackson hinted at deeper issues between Brown and Hurts, stating, “It’s something else going on. I respect him. I can’t say it, but I know it’s something else going on. It’s not all about football.” His comments have sent shockwaves through the Eagles fan base, igniting speculation about the dynamics within the team.
Both Hurts and Brown have remained tight-lipped about their relationship, leaving fans and analysts alike questioning what lies beneath the surface. Jackson’s remarks have only intensified this intrigue, suggesting that their struggles might extend beyond the field. “I’ve had situations with quarterbacks I didn’t necessarily like, and when it ain’t there, it sticks out like a sore thumb,” he added, leaving fans eager for clarity.
As the Eagles prepare to face their NFC East rival, the Dallas Cowboys, on the road this weekend, the team’s focus remains on winning. Following two recent low-scoring games against the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions, there is pressure to boost their offensive play. Last week, Brown was targeted a team-leading 11 times, signaling the coaching staff’s efforts to engage their star receiver more effectively.
Despite these internal challenges, the Eagles hold the top spot in the NFC, and their current formula for success appears to be working. However, fans are left to wonder: will the unresolved tension between Hurts and Brown impact their playoff ambitions?
As the clock ticks down to the crucial matchup against the Cowboys, all eyes will be on how the Eagles address these underlying issues while striving to maintain their winning streak. For continuous updates on this developing story and all things NFL, stay tuned to Newsweek Sports.
