Overview

  • After reviewing tape, the Giants coach said the Eagles receiver is open frequently, according to SNY's reporting of his remarks.
  • Through five games, A.J. Brown has 19 receptions for 194 yards, a notably low start by his standards.
  • Philadelphia ranks among the league's lowest in passing attempts and highest in rushing attempts this season.
  • Some interpreted Daboll’s praise as a recruitment hint given New York’s receiver needs after Malik Nabers’ season-ending ACL tear, while the Eagles have denied trading Brown.
  • The Giants are 1-4 and the Eagles are 4-1, with sportsbooks favoring Philadelphia by a touchdown at MetLife following a Week 5 outing that included 38 Jalen Hurts pass attempts and a DeVonta Smith surge.
