Eagles Blow 21-Point Lead to Cowboys as A.J. Brown’s Usage Debate Intensifies

Brown’s season-high 110 yards were followed by remarks on Dallas adjustments, intensifying scrutiny of Hurts, coaches, play-calling.

Overview

  • The Eagles led 21-0 after three drives but were shut out the rest of the way in a 24-21 loss decided by a game-ending Dallas field goal.
  • A.J. Brown finished with eight catches for a season-high 110 yards and a first-quarter touchdown, then went without a reception in the second and third quarters.
  • Brown said the Cowboys’ second-half adjustments and a “little lack of execution” explained the collapse, noting his own false start and a need to get on the same page.
  • Coach Nick Sirianni said the offense was not efficient after halftime, while Jalen Hurts called it a tale of two halves as punts, a missed field goal and penalties stalled drives.
  • A pregame clip of Tom Brady throwing warm-up passes to Brown drew heavy social media reaction and fueled questions about the Hurts–Brown connection as Philadelphia fell to 8-3 with a short week before hosting Chicago on Friday.
