""He's got the best hands I've ever seen. The way he catches the ball, the amount of different types of catches that he's made. When you get as many targets as he does, you're going to have some drops," said Sirianni, who noted the wind affected the ball in the air. "I know he will beat himself up on that.""
"One of them came with a little over two minutes remaining on a third-and-5 from the Philadelphia 40 with the Eagles trailing 23-19. Jalen Hurts kept the possession going by completing a pass to tight end Dallas Goedert on fourth down, and the Eagles eventually made it down to the San Francisco 21 before the drive stalled, ending their season in disappointing fashion."
Nick Sirianni defended receiver A.J. Brown after multiple drops and a heated sideline exchange following the playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Sirianni praised Brown's hands and said wind affected the ball, adding that Brown will beat himself up over the drops. Brown had two drops, tying his career high, and finished with three catches for 25 yards on seven targets. One drop came with a little over two minutes remaining on third-and-5 from the Philadelphia 40 while the Eagles trailed 23-19. Jalen Hurts converted a fourth-down pass to Dallas Goedert and the drive reached the San Francisco 21 before stalling. Brown declined to speak to the media postgame, and teammate Jordan Mailata praised Brown's passion and availability despite injuries.
