Safe to Say the Eagles Won the A.J. Brown Trade
Published:
Checking in on A.J. Brown and the New England Patriots:
They lost 35 to 10 to the Lions. Drake Maye had to leave the game early, which resulted in the Munich crowd getting the Tommy Cutlets experience. A.J. finished with two receptions for 27 yards on six targets and walked out of the locker with a limp, according to the on-hand scribes who made the Deutschland trip.
Here are A.J.’s season stats:
- 4 games played
- 11 receptions
- 26 targets
- 128 yards
- 0 touchdowns
- 1 fumble
- numerous drops
- several injuries
He hasn’t been 100% healthy since the opener, or maybe even before the opener, but he is struggling to catch the ball and none of the injuries were hand or brain or eye injuries. So you’d think he’d still be able to reel in the ball the way he did for the Eagles and the Titans, even if other parts of his body are bothering him.
Regardless, it is now official. The Eagles won the A.J. Brown trade. He’s given the Patriots nothing this season. And while there is a chance he comes back healthy next year and goes on to have a 1,200 yard season en route to a Super Bowl, that chance feels like it is less than 1% at this point.
