“Last time, I honestly felt like a paid actor during the whole week, just everything, so many interviews. The only part that felt like real football was the game.

The Philadelphia Eagles' get aggressive on fourth down and the offense delivers with a 31-yard connection from Eagles' quarterback Jalen Hurts to Eagles' wide receiver A.J. Brown.

The Eagles advanced to the NFC championship game by defeating the Los Angeles Rams, but an Eagles players uncharacteristic drops made the game close for most of the afternoon.

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown could start a book club with his teammates.
