Unless you have been living under a metaphorical rock, you have come across Eagles star receiver A.J. Brown voicing displeasure with his role within the offense — again.
In Philadelphia’s Monday night win over the Green Bay Packers, Brown was targeted just three times: twice to begin the game and not again until the controversial 4th & 6 incompletion. The entire night was a defensive struggle, but that is no excuse to disregard one of the top pass-catchers in football.
Following the game, screenshots started circulating on social media of Brown allegedly being open on a play, and Hurts didn’t go to him. Below is the image in question:

Heading into Week 11, Brown ranks 61st in receptions (31), 50th in receiving yards (408), and 45th in touchdowns (3), which are career lows across the board. Considering Philadelphia is 17-3 when Brown records 100+ receiving yards in a game, it would be beneficial to target him early and often.
The lack of involvement hasn’t cost the Eagles many games yet, but they will need to score more than ten points to defeat Detroit this Sunday.
