Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown ignited a public kerfuffle Sunday when he was spotted reading a book — "Inner Excellence: Train Your Mind for Extraordinary Performance and the Best Possible Life," by Jim Murphy — to inspire himself during the team’s wild-card victory over the Green Bay Packers.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni pushed back on the criticism toward A.J. Brown after the wide receiver was reading a book during a playoff game.

A.J. Brown has no time for criticism of his reading habits. The Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver went viral for reading a book on the sidelines during his team's 22–10 wild card round win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
