Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown may or may not have been unhappy with quarterback Jalen Hurts last week. It’s a safe bet he’s happy with Hurts so far today.
Brown has caught all four targets for 48 yards and a touchdown, giving the Eagles a 10-3 lead over the Steelres.
Brown beat cornerback Donte Jackson one-on-one as Hurts completed the 5-yard pop pass to him. It was Brown’s first touchdown since Nov. 24 against the Rams.
He already has more yards than he had last week against Carolina when he caught four passes for 43 yards in a close call against the Panthers.
Hurts is 8-for-8 for 104 yards to start the game but has lost a fumble on a strip-sack by T.J. Watt. The Eagles have scoring drives of 54 and 70.
