The Tennessee Titans traded A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles on draft day last April for a pair of picks.
The play set up a field goal for a 3-0 Eagles lead. It also broke Philadelphia's single-season record for receiving yards. The honor used to belong to Mike Quick, who tallied 69 catches for 1,409 yards in 1983. Brown entered Sunday with an already career-high 1,401 yards on 84 catches. He needed a 17th game to get there, but is now the franchise's single-season receiving champ.
Brown secured the mark on an Eagles team playing for the NFC's best record and No. 1 seed in the playoffs. He's developed as Jalen Hurts' top target during a breakout campaign for the Eagles quarterback that earned him his first Pro Bowl berth alongside some midseason MVP buzz. The Tennessee Titans, meanwhile, will watch the playoffs from home. They closed their season out on Saturday with a seventh straight loss in a 20-16 defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was a bitter end to once-promising season that started at 7-3 alongside hopes of a fourth straight playoff berth.dealt the other pick to gain additional selections
. Burks had a fine but unspectacular rookie season while tallying 33 catches for 444 yards and a touchdown in 11 games. The Titans lacked a playmaker in the passing game as Robert Woods led the team in receiving with 527 yards. Sure, losing Ryan Tannehill was a big blow on a team that scrambled at quarterback down the stretch. But for a team that was presumably building to win now, the Brown trade remains a head scratcher at season's end.
