4 Studs (& 1 Dud) From Eagles Sunday Night Football Win Over Dolphins
By Randy Gurzi
Eagles Stud: A.J. Brown
When the Eagles sent a first-round pick to the Titans for A.J. Brown last season, it felt like the missing piece for this offense. They were able to pair him with DeVonta Smith and that gave them a speedy wideout on one side with the 226-pound Brown opposite him.
His ability to name the top receivers of all-time might not be his strong suit, but on the field, Brown has been incredible. In 2022, his first season with the Eagles, he had 1,496 yards and 11 touchdowns and has been better this year. He came into the Sunday night game with 42 receptions for 672 yards and two touchdowns and added to those numbers in a big way.
On 15 targets, he brought in 10 passes for 137 yards and had a 14-yard touchdown as well. Those numbers were historic as he became only the third player in league history to gain at least 125 yards in five straight games. That puts him in the same company as Calvin Johnson and the output is simply staggering over this span.
#Eagles WR AJ Brown just became the 3rd player in NFL HISTORY to amass 125+ yards receiving in five straight games (first since Megatron in 2014).

Tennessee traded Brown to the Eagles during the 2022 NFL Draft as a way to avoid paying him market value. Fast forward to now and they can't pass the ball and he can't stop putting up video game numbers. It's safe to say that Philly won this trade.
