A.J. Brown Pulls Up in a Honda Civic
Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown went viral before the game even started. Despite being signed to a $96 million contract, Brown pulled up to Lincoln Financial Field in a $30,000 Honda Civic, which was much to the delight of several fans on social media.
"Smart man. Fly under the radar. Ain't no one going to mess with you driving to the stadium in that wonderfully average mileage car," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Intelligent and Humble!" another fan added.

Eagles Urged to Explore Trade For Star Pass Rusher
The Eagles are stacked on the offensive side of the field with an assortment of weapons headlined by A.J. Brown, Saquon Barkley, and Devonta Smith. But if there was one area where they could use an upgrade it would be on their defensive line. Although they are in the midst of a deep playoff run, it's never too early to look for potential improvements for next season. One media pundit believes the Eagles should explore a deal for Las Vegas Raiders star pass-rusher Maxx Crosby.
"The team that should consider trading for him is the Philadelphia Eagles. As it currently stands, the Eagles are in the playoffs, but it hasn't necessarily been pretty. Nick Sirianni and the team are still struggling to get on the same page, and the defensive line isn't performing up to par either. They have a contending level team, but for the defense to only have generated a 17.9% pressure rate, they need additional help and need to get younger," The Wright Way Network's Marissa Myers writes.
"Philadelphia has a more stable quarterback situation with Jalen Hurts, which is an upgrade for Crosby compared to what he has dealt with in Las Vegas. The Eagles need to continue to go all in, and the Raiders need to ensure they accelerate their rebuild with draft capital, and trading Crosby is how they do so."
