The expectation was that A.J. Brown’s arrival in Philadelphia would signal an upgrade at wide receiver, and on Sunday against Pittsburgh, the ‘Swole’ Batman exploded for a monster first half.
Philadelphia obviously saw something about Steelers cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon and Hurts has targeted that side of the field three times on deep shots to his favorite target.
Brown now has five catches for 113 yards and three touchdowns.
A.J. Brown unstoppable
Brown has over 100 yards in the first half.

Slam dunk for Solak, who compared Brown’s unsportsmanlike penalty to a childhood favorite.

Brown is the new king of the go-route after scoring three touchdowns in the first half on go-routes.
A.J. Brown is the first player since @NextGenStats route classification began in 2018 to record 3 receiving TD on Go routes in a single game.
Brown has done so in the 1st half of Week 8 against the Steelers. #FlyEaglesFly @Eagles @1kalwaysopen_
