The Philadelphia Eagles are set to travel and square off against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Philadelphia is 4-2 on the year and is seeking to extend the win streak to three.

This won't be an easy task and they'll have their work cut out for them. Cincinnati leads the all-time series 9-3-2 over the Eagles. The last game happened in 2020, which ended in a 23-23 tie.

Philadelphia looks to change that outcome this time. In this matchup, safety Sydney Brown will be playing in his second game of the season. He made his season debut last week against the New York Giants, logging one tackle and one pass breakup in nine total snaps.

As he ramps up his workload after tearing his ACL last year, Brown has a chance to do something that hasn't been done in 18 years.

Eagles News: Sydney Brown Will Be Squaring off Against His Twin Brother Chase Brown

Sydney's twin brother is Chase Brown, who is a running back for the Bengals. In this contest though, if Sydney tackles his brother, it'll be the first time an identical twin tackles his brother in an NFL game since Week 8 of the 2006 NFL season.

Ronde Barber tackled his brother Tiki back in 2006 and was the last person to do it. As Sydney will likely play more snaps on Sunday, he will have a chance to tackle his twin brother.

The Illinois native is a defender who makes plays all over the floor. He has the ability to help this Eagles' defense out while also completing an incredible feat. Playing against his brother is something that is on his mind and will be a storyline throughout this matchup.
