Eagles' A.J. Brown, Jeffrey Lurie stage mid-practice meeting

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie met on the sidelines with receiver A.J. Brown in the middle of practice Thursday to discuss the three-time Pro Bowler's disenchantment with the team's offense.

According to reports, Lurie and Brown spent 10 minutes hashing out Brown's complaints via social media and traditional media regarding his reduced role in the Eagles' offense.

Brown earned second-team All-Pro recognition in each of his first three seasons with the Eagles, during which he was targeted 400 times for 261 receptions, 4,031 yards and 25 touchdowns over 47 games. That works out to 8.5 targets, 5.6 catches and 85.8 yards per game.

This season, Brown amassed just 54 targets, 31 catches and 408 yards in eight games heading into Sunday night's matchup with the Detroit Lions -- well below his usual numbers.

"It's not just solely about my situation," Brown said after Wednesday's practice. "I want to win, too. I think if we're really focused on winning and doing our job, we can't just keep slapping a Band-Aid over the defense doing their job and getting us out of trouble. At what point are we going to pick up our slack as an offense?"

The Eagles (7-2) enter Week 11 with a commanding lead in the NFC East over the Dallas Cowboys (3-5-1), though their offense has been less impressive than in last year's run to the Super Bowl title. Philadelphia ranks 12th in the NFL in scoring (24.2 points per game) but is 23rd in total offense (303.2 yards per game).

The Eagles' defense stands 10th in points allowed (21.3 per game) and 18th in yards allowed (327.9 per game).

Also on Wednesday, Brown shared his personal frustration while playing a game of Madden NFL online. The stream captured Brown saying, "Family is good. Everything else, no. It's a s--show."
