WR Brown 'always open' in sensational debut for Eagles September 12  PHILADELPHIA (AP)  A.J. Brown hung an Always Open sign  such as the kind youd find at a diner  last week in his locker.He cant be knocked for false advertising.Brown had a Philadelphia Eagles debut to remember, and certainly one for the record book, in a 38-35 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Brown had a career-high-tying 155 yards receiving, the most Jabari Parker Jersey  yards receiving by a player in his Eagles debut. The Eagles traded the No. 18 pick and a third-round choice to Tenne see for Brown and signed him to a four-year contract worth at least $57 million. Browns 155 yards were the most by an Eagle since Alshon Jeffery had eight catches for 160 yards in December 2018 at the Los Angeles Rams.Now thats an instant impact.Sometimes the ball just keeps finding you, Brown said. I got hot kind of early.Brown and Jalen Hurts already had a close friendship off the field. The chemistry is already there on the field.Brown just might turn out as the best Eagles wide receiver since Terrell Owens led them to the Super Bowl with one of the great single-seasons in franchise history in 2004. Yes, the wideout bar has been low since Owens left, but Brown surpa sed the hype that followed him once he was traded to the Eagles. Perhaps not as well known as he should have been playing for the Titans, Brown can rise into superstardom in Philadelphia.A.J. made a lot of plays that gave us a lot of momentum, Hurts said. WHATS WORKINGIn simplest terms, Hurts-to-Brown. Heck, the offense in general. Brown hauled in a 54-yard pa s from Hurts in the second quarter. Hurts combined for 256 Buddy Hield Jersey  offensive yards alone (189 pa sing, 67 rushing) in the first half. Oh, and four Eagles had rushing touchdowns.For an opener, not bad.Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said Hurts was in complete control on noticing what the Lions were doing on defense.He saw the field perfectly, he really did, Sirianni said. And Im really talking more about, Youre doing this, well do that. You know what I mean? And hes going to have plays that he wants back, and were going to have calls that we want back, but I thought he played a really outstanding game.WHAT NEEDS HELPThe Eagles' lone sack came on a fumbled snap and the defensive line failed to put much pre sure on Jared Geoff. The Eagles mi sed tackles and the linebackers were sloppy in too many spots. Cornerback James Bradberry, though, came through in the clutch when he returned an interception 27 yards for a score that put the Eagles ahead 21-7 in the second quarter.STOCK UPHurts. He perhaps had his signature performance with the Eagles. He found instant succe s with Brown and threw for 243 yards overall. Hurts ran 17 times, one short of his career high, for 90 yards and a 1-yard touchdown. Philadelphia sealed the win on Hurts sneak that converted a fourth-and-1 from the Detroit 40 with 50 seconds left. He had 50 yards rushing in the first quarter, the highest total by a Philadelphia quarterback since Michael Vick ran for 2 more yards in the opening quarter of a 2013 game against the New York Giants.Hurts did suffer a few too many punishing hits as he tried  Vlade Divac Jersey to make plays with his legs. But making plays on the run is one of the things he does best. Its a great feeling knowing you didnt meet the standard, but you still were resilient enough, had enough dog in you to find a way to win, he said.STOCK DOWNJonathan Gannon. The already much-maligned Eagles defensive coordinator faced the critics again after a rough effort against the Lions. The Lions went 9 of 14 on third down and Goff was sacked only once.Ill just talk to him over there and see whats going on and see what we need to do to adjust, Sirianni said.INJUREDDE Derek Barnett left the game with a knee injury. KEY NUMBER216  Yes, all the focus was on Browns breakout debut. But the Eagles ran for a whopping 216 yards and rushed for four touchdowns. Miles Sanders averaged 7.3 yards per carry and scored a rushing TD for the first time since 2020. NEXT STEPSIts the home opener. The Eagles play Minnesota, coming off a 23-7 DaQuan Jeffries Jersey  win against the Green Bay Packers, on Monday night at the Linc. The Vikings won the most recent matchup in 2019. Kirk Cousins had 333 yards pa sing in the win. He completed 23 of 32 pa ses for 277 yards without a turnover in Sundays win against the Packers.___More AP NFL: hub/nfl and AP_NFL  in this topic  National Football League Philadelphia Eagles James Bradberry Miles Sanders A.J.
