LANDOVER, Md. — Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown set an NFL record for most consecutive games with 125-plus receiving yards (6) in Sunday's 38-31 win over the Washington Commanders.
Finishing with eight catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns, Brown broke a tie with Pat Studstill (1966) and Calvin Johnson (2012), the former Detroit Lions great. «He's got some of the strongest hands I've played against in the league.
One dude I knew that had strong hands was Calvin. He attacks the ball just like Calvin used to do,» said Eagles cornerback Darius Slay, who also was a teammate of Johnson's in Detroit. «It's mind-blowing that I'm seeing someone else do the same thing.
He's doing some crazy s--- right now.» Brown channeled his inner Megatron for his first touchdown against the Commanders with a one-handed snag in corner of the end zone and cornerback Benjamin St-Juste draped over him late in the second quarter.
