In his first season wearing the midnight green and black of the Philadelphia Eagles, A.J. Brown has already made a significant impact.
On Sunday, he etched his name into the franchise’s record books, setting the single-season mark for receiving yards in the Eagles’ 22-16 win over the New York Giants.
Needing only nine yards to break the record entering Sunday’s contest with the Giants, Brown wasted little time, catching a 35-yard pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts on the Eagles’ first offensive play.
Brown passes Hall of Famer Mike Quick, who had set the previous record of 1,409 yards in 1983.
Quick was on hand to witness Brown breaking his record. The two-time All-Pro is a color analyst for WIP in Philadelphia, calling games alongside the legendary voice of the Eagles, Merrill Reese.
