A.J. Brown stands alone in NFL history. With his 16-yard reception in the fourth quarter of Philadelphia's 38-31 Week 8 win against the Commanders, the Eagles wide receiver surpassed Lions great and Pro Football Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson for the most consecutive 125-yard receiving games in league history.
This performance against Washington gives Brown six straight games with at least 125 yards receiving, which breaks the record co-held by Johnson (2012) and former Lions receiver Pat Studstill (1966). During that 2012 season, Johnson led the NFL with 122 receptions and an NFL-record 1,964 yards receiving. Coming into Week 8, Brown had 809 receiving yards on the season.
Brown made the record-setting catch at the 11:35 mark of the fourth quarter of their eventual 38-31 win off a 16-yard throw from quarterback Jalen Hurts. Brown finished the game catching all eight of his targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns.
Here's a look at the receiver's record-setting run into the NFL history books.
| Game (Week) | Receiving yards | Eagles W/L |
|---|---|---|
at Buccaneers (Week 3) | 131 | W |
vs. Commanders (Week 4) | 175 | W |
at Rams (Week 5) | 127 | W |
at Jets (Week 6) | 131 | L |
vs. Dolphins (Week 7) | 137 | W |
| at Commanders (Week 8) | 130 | W |
This remarkable run by Brown comes off one of his least productive games since joining the Eagles where he caught four passes for just 29 yards in the Eagles Week 2 win over Minnesota.
