THE Philadelphia Eagles made easy work of the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, and it appeared some players were bored of the game.
Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown was spotted on the sidelines focusing on something completely separate from the game.

The Eagles handled the Packers without much of a sweat, winning 22-10 in the Wild Card game.
While they made easy work of the Packers, the Eagles offense wasn’t particularly strong, and some of their players didn’t get much involvement.
One of those players was superstar wide receiver AJ Brown.
Brown caught just one pass the entire night, taking it for 10 yards. He had no other involvement.
He appeared to be frustrated by this during the game and was seen venting his frustration on the sidelines.
However, it seemed that Brown settled down while the offense was on the bench.
He might have settled down too much though, as he was spotted on Fox NFL cameras picking up a book to read.
“So AJ Brown, he’s a little frustrated,” broadcaster Kevin Burkhardt said.
“He hasn’t seen too many balls today so he’s gonna read a little passage here.”
“I haven’t seen too many people read books,” Tom Brady replied.
Internet detectives zoomed in on the footage of Brown reading and determined it was a book called Inner Excellence.
The book, by Jim Murphy, is about “training your mind for extraordinary performance.”
Fans got a good laugh out of Brown’s antics and shared their thoughts on social media.
“Packers are that bad to where he can read a book lmfao,” one fan said.
