Philadelphia Eagles star AJ Brown has blasted his team after Sunday's epic win over fellow undefeated squad, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in a now-deleted, cryptic social-media post.
Brown posted a message to X about an hour after the Eagles held on to defeat the Buccaneers 31-25.
The top wide receiver for Philadelphia was limited again in the win, with only two receptions on nine targets for seven yards.
This was the second time this season Brown had been held to a single-digit receiving total, garnering eight yards in the Eagles' season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
Brown has been a featured receiver for Philadelphia in all but Week 1, getting eight or more targets. Yet, the 28-year-old posted a cryptic screenshot.
'If you're not welcomed, not listened to, quietly withdraw,' the post read. 'Don't make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way.'

The bible verse was quickly deleted by Brown with the damage likely already being done
The words from Brown are the Bible verse Mark 6:11. The context comes as the Eagles have won 20 of their last 21 games, including the postseason, and are Super Bowl contenders again.
Philadelphia has plenty of offensive weapons, with fellow wide receivers Devonta Smith and Jahan Dotson.
Also on the team is Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Dallas Goedert, and one of the best offensive lines in the NFL.
Brown's frustration comes before the NFL trade deadline, with the Eagles likely to demand a Micah Parsons-like package should his social-media post lead to a change of scenery.
In the past, Brown has relied on text to get him through tough times. He revealed in January he reads 'Inner Excellence' by Jim Murphy in the locker room and on the sidelines.
Brown's plug made the book a bestseller with him later welcoming the author to a game.
