The Eagles improved to 2-0 on Thursday night, but not everyone seemed like a happy camper as Eagles receiver AJ Brown appeared rattled before the fourth quarter.
Despite the win, Brown did not have his best game as he totaled just four catches for 29 receiving yards on six targets.
Brown also saw a 25-yard touchdown in the third quarter that was called back due to a penalty, and was unlucky not to get a pass interference call on the next play.
And before the fourth quarter started, the star receiver could be seen exchanging words with quarterback Jalen Hurts on the sideline.
It is unclear what the pair were talking about.
But whatever the pair was talking about, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni felt it was necessary to diffuse the situation, as seen in the video of that moment.

The Eagles led 27-14 entering the fourth quarter, and while the Vikings eventually chipped away at that lead, Philly emerged victorious, 34-28.
A touchdown grab by KJ Osborn was followed by a rushing score by D’Andre Swift for the hosts, making the score 34-21.
TJ Hockenson scored his second touchdown of the night with just over a minute left to make it a one-possession game, but the Eagles fell on an onside kick from the Vikings before laying down a hailmary on the final action of the match.
Philly will take on the Bucs on Monday, September 25, while Minnesota will host the Chargers the day before.
