Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni addressed A.J. Brown's injury and frustration late in the win over the Giants. DZangaroNBCS of NBCSPhilly has the details.
“Of course he’s always going to want the ball. He’s a really good player,” Sirianni said. “Not really anybody had a lot of targets or a lot of opportunities because we were running the ball so well. But that’s what you want from your receivers, to want to have the football. Part of the reason why receivers are good is because they want and crave the football to change the game.
“But make no mistake about it, he was thrilled that we won the football game, always wants to be involved in the plan, he blocked his butt off. You can see how excited he was when he sprang that block for DeVonta’s touchdown. But, you know, he was obviously really excited and celebrated in the locker room with us after the win.”
Brown, 25, had an incredible regular season in his first year with the Eagles. He was named to his second Pro Bowl, catching 88 passes for nearly 1,500 yards and 11 touchdowns. And the Eagles will need him to be at his best against the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.
