Open Extended ReactionsPHILADELPHIA -- Eagles coach Nick Sirianni defended A.J.
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.
Brown appeared to take exception, and the two got face-to-face before Eagles chief security officer Dom DiSandro calmly guided Brown in another direction.
Asked what Brown said to Sirianni, Mailata noted it was "not my business" and joked that he was "just trying to get in the way" of Sirianni and Brown.
Brown had two drops Sunday, none bigger than this one on a third-and-5 from the Eagles' 40-yard line late in the fourth quarter.
