Eagles Frame A.J. Brown’s One-Target Opener as Coverage-Driven

Coaches said Dallas’ schemes funneled throws elsewhere, easing concern about a lasting issue.

Overview

  • A.J. Brown had one target and one catch for eight yards in the 24-20 win over the Cowboys, with zero first‑half targets for the first time since 2019.
  • Head coach Nick Sirianni credited Dallas for taking Brown away and praised Jalen Hurts for working through progressions rather than forcing throws.
  • Brown said his usage was not in his control and noted Dallas shaded coverage to his side, describing the looks as nothing he hadn’t seen.
  • With Brown quiet, Jahan Dotson led the receivers with 59 yards including a 51‑yard gain, while Dallas Goedert caught seven passes and Hurts went 19‑for‑23 with two rushing touchdowns.
  • Former players and media urged more targets for Brown as the Eagles, in Kevin Patullo’s first game as offensive coordinator, prepare for a Week 2 trip to Kansas City.
