During the Philadelphia Eagles’ wild-card playoff game against the Green Bay Packers, wide receiver A.J. Brown was spotted on the bench reading the book “Inner Excellence” by Jim Murphy. Brown only had one catch during the game, but he explained that he reads on the sideline often and finds the lessons in the book useful for maintaining a clear mind and focus during games. Murphy, a former minor league outfielder and mental skills coach, was surprised to see his book featured during an NFL playoff game. Brown shared a photo of the book on social media with highlighted passages. Despite a relatively quiet game for Brown, the Eagles secured a 22-10 win over the Packers, earning them another home playoff game in the divisional round. Quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley, along with the Eagles’ strong defense, will be key players to watch as they face the winner of the game between Minnesota and the Los Angeles Rams. Brown emphasized the importance of playing freely and staying focused as the team aims for a Super Bowl win.
