US EditionEagles star A.J. Brown seeks bigger role heading into matchup with high-powered Lions
A.J. Brown seeks increased involvement after a drop to 408 receiving yards this season as Eagles aim to counter Detroit's top-ranked offense.
- On Sunday night, A.J. Brown is pressing for a larger role against the Detroit Lions as he voiced concern the offense is struggling and wants to help.
- After Monday's win, A.J. Brown was targeted just three times and had two catches for 13 yards, with a season total of 408 yards after 1,079 last season.
- Brown said, `'No, where have you been,'` and Sirianni stated, `'But no, it's business as usual,'` in response to the episode.
- Detroit's high-powered attack presents a major challenge, as the Lions are the only team with 21 passing touchdowns, 13 rushing scores and six or fewer turnovers through nine games.
- Given Brown's public critiques about offensive execution, clarity on his role may affect the stretch run as the Eagles sit 7-2 and would be the NFC's top seed if playoffs were held before Week 11.
