A cryptic postgame comment and mounting performance concerns have thrust AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts into the media spotlight.
During Tuesday's appearance on "The Facility," LeSean McCoy, the Philadelphia Eagles legendary running back, dissected the growing controversy. His comments arrived after a lackluster offensive performance against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday where Hurts completed just 14 of 21 passes for 108 yards in a 22-16 win.
"I hate it, though I love AJ, but I, you know why I hate it so much? Because now it looks like I'm taking on the villain role," McCoy said. "I'm the villain. Bring it on. And that's not what it is. I think he is making everybody aware of like, 'Hey, man, we all need to be held accountable. I got to catch the ball right, running back gotta run, defense gotta block, the quarterback you got to pass.'
