SEATTLE — A.J. Brown didn’t know what to say.

He doesn’t seem to have any answers right now. No one does.

“I don’t know what’s going on,” Brown said about the offense after the Eagles’ 20-17 loss to the Seahawks. “I think we’ll just continue to try to find a way to go to work. I don’t even know what to work at but I just try to do my job, man. Control what I can control. That’s what I focus on.”

But it was still a subpar performance from the QB and from the offense as a whole.

“I knew he was sick. But that ain’t no excuse,” Brown said. “We’re on the field, we’re playing. Don’t nobody care what’s going on with us during the week. Nobody…
