A.J. Brown 's stats today against Denver were uninspiring once again as Philadelphia suffered its first loss of the season on Sunday afternoon at home. The three-time Pro Bowler finished the contest third on the Eagles in targets, second in receptions and third in receiving yards.

Brown has since deleted his post, which quoted Bible verse Mark 6:11, and replaced it with another post that read, "I Love yall with all My heart."
Through five games this season, Brown has one game with more than 100 receiving yards. Last year, despite missing three of the Eagles' first five games, he had two 100-yard outings through five games.
Philadelphia will try again to get Brown more involved in its offense on a short week. The Eagles will hit the road for a Week 6 " Thursday Night Football " meeting with the New York Giants .
