After a brief stay in the blue medical tent, Brown walked into the locker room on his own power.
As a reminder, in order for the Eagles to win the division and get the No. 2 seed in the NFC, they need to win and also have the Cowboys lose to the Commanders.
The Eagles’ Pro Bowl receiver is having a tremendous 2023 season. Entering Sunday, Brown had 105 catches for 1,447 yards and 7 touchdowns.
With his nine-yard catch, Brown is 41 yards shy of breaking his personal career high in yards and the franchise record. Brown set that record last season with 1,496.
