Breaking: Hurts pairs up with Brown for electric 67-yard Eagles TD Eagles QB Jalen Hurts connects with his star receiver A.J. Brown for a 67-yard touchdown early in the second half….see more
After their bye week, the Eagles picked up right where they left off.
Any notion of rust was quickly dispelled in the Eagles’ 35-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
It’s the second time in franchise history the Eagles have started 7-0 and the first since 2004. After catching his third touchdown pass of the first half, it looked like A.J. Brown ran out of celebrations.
In lieu of an elaborate dance or stunt, Brown simply counted the two defensive backs Pittsburgh deployed to slow him down, much to the disapproval of the nearest official.
The star receiver elicited a 15-yard penalty on the ensuing kickoff, but it was a drop in the bucket compared to the bevy of big-time catches Brown pulled off to give the Eagles a decisive early lead.
