Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown are just fine, and so are Eagles after beating Steelers

PHILADELPHIA — “So that’s what y’all wanted to see, huh?” Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts said Sunday with a smirk as he pulled himself up to the mic for his postgame news conference. Brown 🔥 pic.twitter.com/TN2CRihTqJ — FOX Sports: NFL December 15, 2024 By game’s end, Hurts again looked like one of the better quarterbacks in the league, just as he did two years ago during Philadelphia’s Super Bowl run. The two, along with other members of Philadelphia’s locker room, chose to direct their frustrations at outsiders like inquisitive sports reporters and distressed fans, who in the days leading up to the Pittsburgh game searched for insight into an apparent locker-room rift and the source behind a passing game that has failed to complement a dominant rushing attack despite boasting top-flight talent at all of the necessary positions. And two days later, injured defensive teammate Brandon Graham said in a radio interview that Brown and Hurts’ relationship had reached a rocky point because of offensive shortcomings.
