The dispute between Philadelphia Eagles x Minnesota Vikings took place at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. O Thursday Night Football of week two had the home team (Philly) as the winner of the match, scoring 34 points and limiting the Vikings to 28. Jalen Hurts, quarterback of the Eagles was one of the highlights of the night, but not just for guiding his team to victory.
In a video recovered by the NFL broadcast, it is possible to see Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown exchanging a few words on the sidelines of the field. Visibly dissatisfied, the conversation had to be interfered by coach Nick Sirianni. The reason for the discussion would have been the low volume of passes going towards Brown.
