The Philadelphia Eagles made easy work of the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night, and some players seemed bored with 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.
Although they made the Packers' work easier, the Eagles' offense wasn't particularly strong, and some of their players didn't get involved much.
One of those players was wide receiver AJ Brown.
Brown caught just one pass all night, taking it for 10 yards. He had no other involvement.
He appeared to be frustrated by this during the match and was seen venting his frustration on the sidelines.
However, Brown seemed to settle down while the offense was benched.
He may have settled down a bit, as he was spotted on Fox NFL cameras picking up a book to read.
“So AJ Brown is a little frustrated,” announcer Kevin Burkhart said.
“He didn't see a lot of balls today so he'll read a little clip here.”
“I haven't seen a lot of people reading books,” Tom Brady replied.
Internet sleuths zoomed in on footage of Brown reading and determined it was a book called Inner Excellence.
The book written by Jim Murphy is about “training your brain for exceptional performance.”
Fans laughed a lot at Brown's antics and shared their thoughts on social media.
“The Packers are so bad he could read a book lmfao,” one fan said.

“I mean the game is boring,” another fan said.
“Hey, it's probably more fun than the Eagles offense right now,” a third fan said.
“This guy is improving his mind,” a fourth fan said.
“Maybe it's inspiring?” said a fifth fan.
