Overview

• Brown finished with one reception for eight yards on his lone target, which came with 1:45 remaining, after going untargeted in the first half for the first time since 2019.
• Nick Sirianni said the Cowboys took Brown away and that Jalen Hurts worked through progressions, while Hurts called Brown’s late catch the most important play of the game.
• Brown and reporters noted Dallas shaded coverage to his side and used soft quarters to limit deep shots, leading to more short throws to Dallas Goedert and a single deep strike to Jahan Dotson.
• In Kevin Patullo’s debut as offensive coordinator, Philadelphia leaned on the run and short game as Hurts went 19-of-23 for 152 yards with two rushing touchdowns; Brown had missed camp time with a hamstring issue but was fully active.
• Former players, including LeSean McCoy and Chad Johnson, urged the Eagles to involve Brown more as attention turns to how his usage shifts in a Week 2 visit to the Chiefs.
