Overview
- Brown saw increased involvement against Denver (5 catches, 43 yards on 8 targets), but Philadelphia lost 21-17 and the offense remained uneven.
- Jalen Hurts threw 38 times for 280 yards and two touchdowns with six sacks, while Saquon Barkley had a career‑low nine touches.
- Both Brown and DeVonta Smith have voiced dissatisfaction with their roles, with reporting tying it to a run‑first rhythm that reduces red‑zone chances and target quality.
- NFL Media and CBS report the Eagles have fielded trade inquiries on Brown for months, yet team officials maintain they have no plans to move him and view him as central.
- Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe criticized Brown’s limited route usage during the loss, reflecting league‑wide scrutiny of Kevin Patullo’s passing design and the unit’s bottom‑tier yardage ranks.
