Eagles' Star AJ Brown Blames Own Struggles for Limited Targets in Season Opener
The Philadelphia Eagles won their first game of the 2025 season despite a quiet performance from star wide receiver A.J. Brown, who saw just one target in their season-opening victory over the Cowboys.

The Philadelphia Eagles secured their first win of the 2025 season, but a surprising performance from star wide receiver A.J. Brown saw him only receive one target in the victory over the Cowboys. Brown, who was expected to be a key contributor, was noticeably quiet throughout the game despite his team's successful outcome. The quarterback's decision to limit targets to Brown was an unusual move considering his team's need for big plays. The performance has raised questions about how much responsibility quarterbacks Carson Wentz and Jalen Hurts will take in deciding who receives the most targets in critical games.
