Eagles' A.J. Brown goes viral for NSFW quote he didn't actually say image

Yogi Berra once said, "I didn't really say all the things I said."

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown could say that truthfully on Friday morning.

After Thursday night's loss to the New York Giants, a viral quote surfaced on social media claiming that Brown was flabbergasted, in an NSFW way, for having lost to the Giants.

This is the post:

Problem is, Brown didn't say that. There's no record from any actual reporters that this was heard or said.

It's just a made up quote that has hundreds of thousands of views by Friday morning.

It probably was a frustrating night for Brown. He had his second-best game of the season in a year that has at times been a very slow burn for him.

His first catch of the night was an impossibly difficult snag down the right sideline, and he went on to finish with six catches for 80 yards.

The Eagles didn't lose because of Brown. They lost because their defense couldn't stop Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo and a makeshift crew of wide receivers for the Giants' offense.

Brown probably was a little bit confused, especially given the Eagles have now lost twice in five days after starting 4-0.

But he hasn't said everything he's been said to have said.
