Watch: Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, WR A.J. Brown squash chemistry concerns with TD vs. Steelers

Claims about a growing rift between Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and wide receiver A.J. Brown look like hogwash.

Late in the first quarter of Sunday's home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Hurts faked a handoff to running back Saquon Barkley and threw a five-yard touchdown pass to Brown on a 2nd-and-goal.

Last week, concerns about Brown's relationship with Hurts arose when Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham said, "They're no longer friends" on his radio show with WIP-FM in Philadelphia.

Brown then told the media that Graham misread the situation and wasn't attacking Hurts after recently calling out the passing offense. In a Week 14 win over the Panthers, the Eagles only generated 83 passing yards.

Regardless, it's good for Philadelphia that Brown and Hurts seem fine. In the mid-2000s, Eagles fans witnessed one of the most memorable beefs in league history between former quarterback Donovan McNabb and wide receiver Terrell Owens. They certainly don't want a sequel.
