The Philadelphia Eagles aren’t afraid to let it fly — regardless of what their coach says.
Bill Colarulo of 97.5 The Fanatic said Tuesday that he confirmed quarterback Jalen Hurts and star wideout AJ Brown “went rogue” during a controversial fourth-down play at the end of Monday’s 10-7 win over the Green Bay Packers.
“Right before I came on the air,” Colarulo said Tuesday, “I have been told by multiple reliable sources that AJ and Jalen went rogue — again.”

Per Bill Colarulo, the deep shot on 4th down at the end of the game was not the play called by Nick Sirianni and Kevin Patullo. According to multiple sources, Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown “went rogue” again. #eagles #nfl #football

Colarulo added that he wasn’t sure what the play’s original intent was.
Fans were baffled when the defending Super Bowl champs — holding a three-point lead with 30 seconds to go — decided to go for it on fourth-and-6 on Green Bay’s 35-yard line.
They were left gobsmacked when Hurts aired it out to Brown downfield for a deep, deflating incompletion.
ESPN captured Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni looking irritated after the incompletion.

Philadelphia managed to hold on for the win, and Sirianni stood by the decision to go for it — but the situation felt eerily similar to another polarizing play from two seasons ago.
Carulo drew from the Eagles’ 20-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in December 2023, when the then third-year coach took responsibility for his team forcing deep balls to Brown and DeVonta Smith instead of taking what the defense gave them.

Not long after, Brown admitted that Sirianni wasn’t to blame, rather the receiving corps, who were “freelancing” and improvising routes down the stretch.
“AJ and Jalen went rogue — again,” Colarulo said, “and that is a problem.”

Hurts’ decision to target Brown downfield was an especially precarious choice, given the two have seemed out of sync for much of the season.
The last-minute heave was Brown’s third target of the game, in which he finished with just two receptions for 13 yards.
Following three consecutive seasons surpassing 1,000 receiving yards, Brown has logged just 31 receptions for 408 yards and three touchdowns in eight games this year.

Still, the pair sparked some momentum when they connected on a 45-yard bomb to seal a Week 7 road victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Oct. 19.
The Eagles (7-2) look to push their winning streak to four games when they host the Detroit Lions (6-3) at Lincoln Financial Field for “Sunday Night Football.”
