In a stunning turn of events that has rocked Philadelphia, a former Eagles wide receiver has publicly celebrated the team’s latest loss — throwing gasoline on already simmering tensions between A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts.
What began as a routine postgame discussion has spiraled into full-blown drama after the ex-Eagle — who once shared the same locker room with Hurts — took to social media to mock his former team. “Looks like the Birds finally came back down to earth,” he wrote, punctuating the jab with a smirking emoji.
The post instantly went viral, drawing thousands of furious comments from Philly fans who called it a betrayal of the brotherhood that once defined the team’s culture. But the timing made it worse — coming just hours after a heated sideline exchange between Brown and Hurts was caught on national television.
Cameras showed the two stars exchanging words following a stalled drive late in the fourth quarter. While both later downplayed the incident, insiders suggest the moment reflected deeper frustration brewing behind closed doors. “It wasn’t just about one play,” a team source told The Philadelphia Inquirer. “It’s about pressure, expectations, and pride.”
When asked about the viral post from his former teammate, Hurts didn’t hold back. “People can say what they want,” he said, his tone sharp but measured. “But real ones know — we stand together when things get tough.”
Meanwhile, A.J. Brown reportedly reached out to Hurts privately after the loss, and sources say the two cleared the air before practice Monday morning. “They’re competitors,” said head coach Nick Sirianni. “That’s what you want — passion, accountability, and drive. There’s no fracture in this locker room.”
Still, the fallout from the incident has left fans divided — some calling for calm, others fearing the beginnings of an internal rift on a team still chasing redemption after last season’s heartbreak.
Yet, as one Philadelphia fan wrote on X: “You can hate us, mock us, or leave us — but you’ll never break the brotherhood that built this city.”
