Emotions were high with Nick Sirianni and AJ brown.
Just last month, the two had a weird moment where the wideout looked like he wanted to punch his head coach. On Sunday, that moment almost happened.
Shortly after failing to haul in a pass, Brown could be seen in the face of Sirianna. Big Dom had to come over and get the wide receiver to ensure nothing went down.

The altercation began because Sirianni wanted Brown to hurry up and leave the field. Brown did not like the way he was yelling at him.

This situation unfolded as the team was leading 13-10 against the 49ers in their wild-card matchup.
At the time of that altercation, AJ Brown had hauled in three catches for 25 yards. Philadelphia is attempting to return to the Super Bowl and secure back-to-back titles in its franchise’s history. Things may not be clicking as they did in 2024, but the team is still dangerous.
