The Philadelphia Eagles took a three-point lead over the San Francisco 49ers into halftime of their wild-card matchup, but the first half wasn't without sideline drama for the reigning Super Bowl champions.
After the Eagles were forced to punt after a three-and-out possession, their head coach, Nick Sirianni, sprinted down the sideline to confront wide receiver A.J. Brown. Fox cameras caught Sirianni and Brown jawing back and forth at each other before Eagles senior advisor to the general manager "Big Dom" DiSandro stepped in to separate the two.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts had targeted Brown on his two throws immediately prior to Philadelphia's punt near the end of the first half. Despite both throws landing near the wideout, Brown was unable to come away with a reception on either play.
