He has made 53 receptions to date on 86 targets, a catch percentage of 61.6%, for a total of 831 yards. A.J. Brown is averaging 15.7 yards per catch with 7 touchdowns thus far. Jalen Hurts will be looking to connect with him for more here.

The Eagles running game is lead by the 25-year-old Miles Sanders. A big game from him could be the key to controlling the clock here. He’s taken 177 carries and rushed for 900 yards thus far this season. His yards per game currently sits at 81.8 YPG, a number that you know Nick Sirianni would love to see him exceed in this game.

Their kicker is Jake Elliott who has made 9 of 11 field goals this season, a 81.8% field goal percentage, with a long of 54 yards. The Philadelphia Eagles fans don’t want to see him too much, but it’s good to know he can hit another one if needed.

Tennessee Titans Offense:
