Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown took to social media after a quiet day. See his stats vs. the Buccaneers:
The Philadelphia Eagles may have won in Week 4 to remain undefeated, but that might not have been good enough for star wide receiver A.J. Brown.
Brown took to social media website X to post a cryptic screenshot after his quiet day in the box score against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The quote in the image was from the Bible, citing a gospel verse: Mark 6:11.
"If you’re not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw," the quote reads. "Don’t make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way."
Brown finished Sunday's win with the fewest number of receiving yards of any Eagles pass-catcher to record a reception against the Buccaneers.
Eagles fans on social media were quick to call out Brown's behavior on social media and its potential to be a distraction for an undefeated team.
"I'm sorry you have to deal with all this winning," one fan wrote in a reply. "I'm sure you'd be much happier getting passes from (New England Patriots quarterback) Drake Maye with a 6-11 record as long as you get your 1500 (yards) and 11 TDs."
Here's what to know about Brown's Sunday outing:
