Overview
- On a Twitch stream, Brown called the season a 's---show' and told fantasy managers to 'get rid of me,' comments that quickly spread online.
- Meeting reporters a day later, he refused to apologize and warned the offense cannot keep relying on the defense to bail it out late in games.
- Head coach Nick Sirianni called it business as usual and said Brown remains central to the game plan, and GM Howie Roseman previously ruled out trading him.
- Brown’s production has dipped to 31 catches for 408 yards and three touchdowns through eight games, including two catches for 13 yards in the 10-7 win at Green Bay, as Philadelphia ranks near the bottom of the league in passing yards per game.
- Despite limited targets, Brown delivered a key block on Saquon Barkley’s 41-yard gain that set up DeVonta Smith’s winning touchdown, and several former players and national commentators publicly defended Brown’s stance.
