Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A.J. Brown couldn't hide from being asked by reporters about what Brandon Graham said on the radio.

For those who might not be caught up, Graham appeared on 94WIP and said, "Things have changed" between the QB-WR duo.

Graham is known for talking too much and this time, his mouth stirred up some unnecessary drama. Thankfully, his teammates were there to not only back him but to shut down what he initially said once and for all.

"B.G. was just being B.G.," Brown said of Graham with a smile. "He's emotional. In that case, he just misspoke. Me and Jalen are good. So, it's B.G. Everybody loves B.G. He's speaking from the heart. He's speaking from his perception, from the outside."

Here is the entire AJ Brown media session today for those who want to watch it all

Thought he did a great job explaining what he meant, talking about his relationship with Jalen and making it clear that he wants to win/doesn’t care how much they run or pass the ball: pic.twitter.com/rSJueryVPt

Of course, Brown wasn't ignorant to the fact that this also stemmed from his blunt response to what needs to change after they barely beat the Carolina Panthers in Week 14: "Passing."

"They perceived what I said about passing, and felt like it was an attack on Jalen," Brown said. "And I think that’s what (BG) did. Me and Jalen’s relationship is personal. Me and his relationship is good.

"When I say ‘passing,’ that’s speaking on the entire offense, including myself. We’re not in it for feelings. We’re trying to hold up the Lombardi Trophy. That’s the end goal. Who cares if they want to spin it and perceive me as the bad guy? I’m throwing somebody under the bus? Who cares? It’s about what we’re trying to do at the end.”

Meanwhile, Hurts' response to the madness that BG sparked was short and sweet and straight to the point, "He spoke out of place. He knows that."

Left tackle Jordan Mailata wants everyone to move on now.

"We are moving on," Mailata said. "It's the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, not the A.J. Brown and Jalen show. It is the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's it."
