A.J. Brown Goes Quiet Early, Explodes Late as Eagles Rally Past Rams 33–26

Brown's second-half surge renewed scrutiny of how Philadelphia scripts early targets.

Overview

  • In the first half against Los Angeles, Brown saw one target and no catches as Philadelphia fell behind 19–7.
  • When featured after halftime, he finished with six receptions for 109 yards on 10 targets, including a nine-yard touchdown late in the third quarter.
  • Philadelphia completed the comeback with a blocked potential game-winning field goal that was returned for a touchdown as time expired.
  • Brown entered Week 3 with just six catches for 35 yards across two games despite a career marked by consistent production.
  • Public debate over Brown’s early-game usage has focused on play-calling under new coordinator Kevin Patullo and timing with Jalen Hurts; Brown emphasized being on the same page, and former Eagle Hugh Douglas had raised concerns pregame.
