Brown believes he left "a lot of opportunities" on the field in the Eagles' playoff win over the Rams. “I can’t worry about what happened in the past or even these past two games,” he said.
Brown continues to manage a knee issue, but the wideout has been available for both of the Eagles ' playoff contests and we don't expect that to change in Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Commanders. Barring any setbacks, look for the wideout to practice fully by Friday and head into the weekend without an injury designation.
Jalen Hurts is committed to doing what it takes to win, even if that means he must play through injury. It wouldn’t be the first time. The 26-year-old Eagles quarterback confirmed Wednesday that he is on track to play in Sunday’s NFC championship game against the Washington Commanders despite suffering a knee injury in the divisional round against the Los Angeles Rams.
Brown caught two of seven targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 28-22 divisional-round win over the Rams. The Eagles' passing game has been completely de-emphasized during their playoff run, and Brown's production has taken the biggest hit.
The Eagles are 16-3 and headed to the NFC Championship for the second time in three seasons, but their offense is still considered the gang that can’t pass straight. Nothing that happened in the blizzard conditions at Lincoln Financial Field Sunday alleviated the concerns.
Brown's play has hardly reflected excellence during the Eagles ' two playoff victories. That was especially true Sunday in the Eagles' 28-22 divisional round win over the Rams in which Brown had 2 catches for 14 yards. But it was the two catches Brown didn't make Sunday that stood out.
Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver AJ Brown is going viral for the second time in as many weeks, this time over his peculiar choice of ride on the way to a Divisional Round playoff game. #ajbrown is going viral for pulling up to the game in a $30k Honda while having $100M contract with the #eagles #jalalalkali pic.twitter.com/6eILZZjrdf
However, the former Ole Miss Rebels star did not show off his new money prior to the game against the Rams. Instead of pulling up to Lincoln Financial Field in a lavish vehicle, Brown rolled in driving a Honda. Some even claimed his car is worth only $30,000.
Barkley's two touchdowns and 205 rushing yards put the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game for the second time in the last three seasons.
Former NFL quarterback Chris Simms says ignoring Brown is a formula for defeat against the Washington Commanders in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game. And he’s blaming some of that on the shaky play by quarterback Jalen Hurts, who suffered a concussion in the next-to-last regular-season game, and some on offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.
Daniels gashed Detroit's banged-up secondary, but the Eagles can also take lessons their defense learned from their Week 16 loss to Washington.
Philadelphia will host the Commanders next weekend thanks to Barkley rushing for 205 yards and two touchdowns and the Eagles defense recovering two key fumbles
