Daily News | ‘Oh my God:’ A.J. Brown’s historic Eagles debut meets the hype vs. Lions
The Eagles wide receiver made history with his dominant debut, catching 10 passes for 155 yards to spark a 38-35 Eagles road win against the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
Brown’s yardage total set the record for most receiving yards by an Eagles wideout in their debut, breaking Donté Stallworth’s 144-yard debut in 2006, according to Elias Sports. The yardage also tied his career high. “He made big-time plays today,” Hurts said. “I think, in the end, everybody made plays when it mattered the most in the game. ... A.J. made a lot of plays that gave us a lot of momentum.”“It got me going,” Brown said. “I like to touch it as early as I can. There’s just something about it, I get going soon, quick.”
Jordan Mailata said he typically doesn’t concern himself with what the receivers are doing, but even he was in awe of Brown’s performance. “Today, it was my day,” Brown said. “Next week, it could be DeVonta’s day or Dallas’ day. Miles [Sanders] did a good job running the ball, such as Kenny [Gainwell], such as [Boston] Scott. We have a lot of skill players on offense, just trying to get them the ball, get everyone the ball, it’s probably really hard on [offensive coordinator Shane Steichen] because he’s trying to get everybody touches.
“That’s the flow of the game,” Smith added when asked about the targets. “You never know whose day it’s going to be. Today happened to be his. Next week, things may change. You never know. You just got to be ready.”
