DeVonta Smith defends A.J. Brown while explaining Eagles’ fierce competitive edge

The victory is secure, but the method leaves everyone uneasy. Somewhere between the first sip and the sports-radio scream, one can hear the alert popping: one of your own is restless.

That alert then became a loud rumble this week. Star receiver A.J. Brown’s cryptic social media activity sparked a firestorm, hinting at frustration and a potential exit. The perfect record suddenly had a crack in its foundation.
