The opening weekend of the NFL Playoffs was utter chaos, and 49ers-Eagles was no different.
After the Buffalo Bills landed a victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars to begin Sunday’s wild card action, the next game on the slate was a heavyweight matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles.

The Birds had the task of defending their Super Bowl championship, but ultimately failed in a 23-19 loss, and it’s how they did it that really has people talking.
Just before halftime, the drama started for the Eagles when their superstar wide receiver AJ Brown ended up losing his damn mind on the sidelines for whatever reason, acting like a complete nutcase at his head coach Nick Sirianni.

Already not a good look for Brown, but it gets worse.
Late in the fourth quarter with just over two minutes to go, in the most crucial play of the Eagles‘ season, Brown ended up getting a direct throw from quarterback Jalen Hurts, something that could have led Philadelphia to victory and kept their repeat dreams alive, but …
He dropped it. On third down. Yikes.

And crazy enough, Brown didn’t stop there.

I’d be shocked if AJ Brown was still a Philadelphia Eagle next season … what the hell was this?
