A.J. Brown Struggles Early in 2025 NFL Season

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — A.J. Brown‘s slow start to the 2025 NFL season raises concerns among fans and analysts alike. The Philadelphia Eagles‘ wide receiver recorded just six catches for 35 yards over the first two weeks of the season.

In Week 1, Brown had one catch for eight yards, followed by a slightly better performance in Week 2 where he tallied five catches for 27 yards. As the Eagles faced the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, Brown was once again expected to contribute, but his impact remained limited.

Despite being active and healthy, Brown has struggled to connect with quarterback Jalen Hurts. In the first half against the Rams, Brown was targeted only once, and that pass fell incomplete. Fans are left wondering about the reasons behind his lack of production.

Some speculate about a possible rift in chemistry between Brown and Hurts, while others suggest that tight coverage from opposing defenses may be limiting his opportunities. It is clear that the Eagles need to find a way to involve Brown more as they faced a 12-point deficit at halftime against the Rams.

As the season unfolds, the need for Brown’s playmaking ability becomes more urgent. The Eagles will need to adjust their game plan to ensure one of their best receivers is more involved moving forward.
