Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown doesn't seem too upset that Brian Johnson won't return as offensive coordinator in 2024.

Appearing on the AP Pro Football Podcast with Rob Maaddi, Brown said "somebody has to be the bad guy" when things aren't working for a team and he doesn't get "too attached" to the offensive coordinator because it's on the players to execute on the field for things to work.
