The Philadelphia Eagles secured a 22-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers in the 2025 NFL playoffs, showcasing a strong defensive performance. Star receiver A.J. Brown's sideline ritual drew attention when he was spotted reading 'Inner Excellence' by Jim Murphy during the game. Despite a challenging day with only one catch for ten yards, Brown emphasized the mental aspect of the game and how the book helps him maintain focus.

Brown's connection to the book began when defensive tackle Moro Ojomo recommended it after being inspired by its content. This mental approach helped Brown embrace his role even when not targeted. The Eagles' defense excelled, forcing turnovers and intercepting Packers quarterback Jordan Love, while quarterback Jalen Hurts recognized the need to improve offensive execution in upcoming games.
