Daily News | Eagles-Steelers analysis: The unstoppable A.J. Brown-Jalen Hurts connection moves the Birds to 7-0
Any notion of rust coming off of the bye week was quickly dispelled in the Eagles’ 35-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. It’s the second time in franchise history the Eagles have started the year 7-0 and the first since 2004.After catching his third touchdown pass of the first half, it looked like A.J. Brown ran out of celebrations.
The pass on the next touchdown was tailor-made for Brown as he sprinted down the sideline with Ahkello Witherspoon trailing in coverage. Brown caught the ball in stride for a 27-yard score. The next series, Brown got past Witherspoon again and found the end zone as Fitzpatrick bounced off the 6-foot-1, 226-pound receiver.
The 25-year-old Brown has been consistently productive all season but hadn’t surpassed 100 receiving yards since the season opener against the Detroit Lions. Against the Steelers, Brown once again proved that he can take over games for stretches with his ball-winning ability and prowess after the catch.The Eagles quarterback had a handful of perfectly placed passes against a Steelers secondary led by Fitzpatrick, his former Alabama teammate.
The explosive plays aside, Hurts also continued winning in the other category the coaching staff consistently harps on: zero turnovers. Aside from a middle-field throw that Fitzpatrick nearly jumped on in the first half, Hurts hardly put the ball in harm’s way.After taking a 21-10 lead into halftime, the Eagles started the second half with a scoring drive and kept the offensive onslaught coming throughout the remainder of the half.
