The rivalry between the Cowboys and Eagles is one of the oldest and strongest in the NFL. Every year, the two games that Dallas and Philadelphia play means more than just any two regular season games, especially to the fans who have been exposed to this conflict for their entire lives..
However, one member of the Eagles doesn’t have much interest in the rivalry. On Twitter, when A.J. Brown said to not compare him to Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, he said it’s partially because he doesn’t care about the rivalry, not necessarily because he has any beef with Lamb in particular.
AJ Brown said it’s not the same‼️

Brown deleted the initial tweet, then clarified his point with a pair of other tweets, which have also since been deleted.
“I don’t get caught up in the rivalry because that leaves room for emotion,” he said. “I play at the highest level and the only thing on my mind is dominating. Not talking, but dominating.
“So I will do my job and go home get ready to do it again . I don’t care about the rivalry but I do care about wins and losses. I went to olemiss and was born and raised in Starkville. We focus on the task , not rivalries, not emotions but simply dominating.”
Brown has only been on the Eagles for one season, so he hasn’t been exposed to the Dallas-Philadelphia rivalry for long. Maybe as he plays more games, he will change his tune, but for now, Brown is just focused on himself instead of any drama between the teams.
