ST.Eagles WR A.J. Brown Speaks Out on Video Alleging His Celebration Targets Jalen Hurts During Vikings Game – “That Can’t Happen”
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania – October 21, 2025 – After the Philadelphia Eagles’ 28-21 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, a video of A.J. Brown’s celebration quickly spread on X. The clip from account @DaKidGowie received millions of views, sparking debates about his expression.
In the 19-second video, Brown scores his second touchdown in the fourth quarter, putting the Eagles ahead 21-19. After the play, he stands up with a strong expression, seemingly saying something.
Many X users used lip-reading to speculate that Brown was criticizing Jalen Hurts. They claimed he yelled: “This when you throw me the fkin’ ball! WTF is that?! Just throw the f
kin’ ball!”
The NFL community is divided, with one side calling Brown a “locker room cancer” and comparing it to the Owens-McNabb drama. The other side defends him, saying lip-reading is inaccurate and it’s just adrenaline.
In an ESPN interview this morning, A.J. Brown denied the allegations and emphasized his relationship with Hurts. “That can’t happen,” Brown said, “Jalen Hurts and I have a great bond like brothers, we always support each other on the field. And as you’ve seen, 2 TDs are more than enough to prove our connection – it’s the result of trust and perfect coordination.”
Brown explained that the video shows him talking to himself to stay focused, not targeting anyone. He doesn’t want speculation to affect the team’s morale.

Head coach Nick Sirianni supported Brown, praising his performance with 121 yards and two touchdowns. He said this demonstrates Brown’s important role in the Eagles.
The Eagles are regaining form with a 4-2 record in the NFC East after a slow start. The win over the Vikings is a turning point, with Hurts and Brown coordinating well.
Experts like Adam Schefter call this a “storm in a teacup” amplified by social media. Fans hope the Eagles focus on the upcoming Cowboys game.
With Brown’s denial, the drama may end quickly. Only time will tell if baseless speculation continues.
2-Time Pro Bowl DT With 200+ Career Games Willing to Take Pay Cut to Join Chiefs After Omarr Norman-Lott’s Season-Ending Injury
Kansas City, MO — Hours after a 31–0 win over the Raiders, bad news hit:
Omarr Norman-Lott tore his ACL and is out for the season. Steve Spagnuolo’s interior immediately lost a rising rotational piece.
Kansas City moved quickly to scan the free-agent market for a
plug-and-play solution. One name stands out: Linval Joseph — a battle-tested defensive tackle with 200+ NFL games and two Pro Bowls.
Joseph fits the classic 1-tech/NT profile: shuts down the run, absorbs double-teams, and keeps the hallway clean so
Chris Jones can attack. His strengths are eye discipline, compact hand usage, and the ability to anchor the middle.
League chatter says the sides have had preliminary contact to gauge role and contract parameters. The Chiefs’ priority is a player who can step straight into
base and nickel with a short learning curve.
“If Kansas City needs me, I’ll get on a plane and take a pay cut. I want to help this defense and wear red-and-gold before I close my career.” — Linval Joseph
Tactically, Joseph would align at 0/1-tech, squeeze the A-gaps, and spill runs into traffic. On 3rd-and-short or in the red zone, he’s the “door stop,” letting Spags blitz confidently off the edge.
The ripple effect is clear: fewer double-teams on Jones and more clean 1-on-1s for the ends. The second level absorbs less initial contact and improves pursuit to the perimeter.
Contractually, the Chiefs are expected to propose a
short-term, incentive-laden deal tied to snaps/team results, plus per-game roster bonuses. That structure preserves cap flexibility while setting transparent expectations.
Onboarding would include medicals and a 1–2 week ramp-up
to regain contact readiness. The staff would tailor packages by opponent and distribute snaps across the current DT rotation.
While Norman-Lott heads for surgery and rehab, Kansas City needs a trustworthy anchor to steady the front. If all aligns, Linval Joseph could be the quiet, decisive piece for the Chiefs’ stretch run.
