Here’s the sideline confrontation, or whatever you want to call it, between Nick Sirianni and A.J. Brown:

Sirianni: “I was trying to get him off the field because we were trying to punt. That was really it. I love A.J. I think he knows how I feel about him. I have a special relationship with him. We probably went through every emotion you can possibly have together. We’ve laughed together, we’ve cried together, we’ve yelled at each other. We’re both emotional. I was trying to get him off the field and that happens in this game. It happens in this game, but I love him.”

There you have it. The end.
