When you could be feeling proud after a game, AJ Brown is definitely not having that moment. The Eagles’ star wide receiver had a day he probably wants to forget. After a 23-19 loss to the 49ers in the NFC Wild Card Game, Brown delivered what might be his worst performance as an Eagle. And instead of facing the media afterward, he made a beeline straight for the locker room.

A.J. Brown declined to speak to the media just now.

He gave handshakes to a handful of his teammates on his way out of the locker room and told a group of reporters he was “about to go.”

So yes, it was a tough day for reporters too.

But don’t worry, before disappearing quietly, Brown shared hugs with Jalen Hurts and some other teammates—a small but sincere gesture.

Clearly, he was thoughtful about the situation but still wanted to maintain camaraderie.

Marting Frank of the Delaware News Journal added some context: Brown didn’t speak to reporters while leaving the locker room, only offering hugs and handshakes before stepping aside.

If anyone thought he was in “media blackout” mode, they were spot on.

Philadelphia’s offseason is definitely going to be interesting. Fans are left wondering—will Brown stay with the Eagles next season, or is a fresh start elsewhere on the horizon? Either way, this silent exit is very much part of his style, and some might even call it a classy bit of humor.

All in all, Brown’s quiet performance and locker room gestures together show that while he may have lost the game, he still managed a “classy exit” from the drama.
