According to Philadelphia Inquirer’s Marcus Hayes, Brown is currently beefing with head coach Nick Sirianni, and it’s “tearing the team apart.”

The Eagles have a problem. It wears No. 11, and it wears headsets, and it’s tearing the team apart.
For the second consecutive game, superstar receiver A.J. Brown was visibly upset at the Eagles’ play calls on the field. For the second consecutive game, standing at his locker after the game, Brown declined to address the state of the Eagles.
“I’m not about to talk. It ain’t nothing to say,” Brown said, smiling. Eager to clarify the source of his dissatisfaction, Brown told the media, “It ain’t directed toward y’all.”
That’s because, according to teammates, it’s directed toward the coaching staff.
Apparently, Brown’s emotions remained high. He wanted the chance to win the game. He was denied. He watched Sirianni put the game in the hands of its worst unit.
While speaking with the media on Monday, Sirianni was asked why Brown was so upset on Sunday.
“Obviously I don’t want to speak for him,” Sirianni sai via Pro Football Talk. “But, you know, obviously when you have a dynamic playmaker like A.J., he’s going to want to change the game at all times and he’s capable of doing that at all times.
“And so again, I don’t want to speak for him, but obviously we’re all frustrated. We’re all frustrated right now, especially coming off that loss yesterday. And so you want to be able to have fun. You want to be able to do all these things, and you know, that football brings, but sometimes it’s hard to have fun and hard to find the enjoyment when you’re in a rut like we are.
