A.J. Brown was impressed by the atmosphere for Sunday's Eagles-Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field.
"That was like the best atmosphere I've played in, that was a regular season game," Brown told the media after the 26-17 win. "When Meek came out performing, I'm talking to Smitty and Quez. I'm like, 'Man, this is a regular season game. It feels like the playoffs or something.' And that was big, that gave us so much momentum. Meek Mill is one of my favorite rappers. Philly is lit, that's all I'm gonna say. Philly is lit and I'm enjoying being here."
The 25-year-old Pro Bowl WR was acquired in a trade by the Eagles during the 2022 NFL Draft and was given a new four-year, $100 million contract with Philadelphia.
Brown had five catches for 67 yards and a touchdown on Sunday night vs. the Cowboys and now has 33 catches for 503 yards (6th most in the NFL) and two TDs in six games as an Eagle.
It is a historic time in Philadelphia sports, as the Phillies begin the NLCS on Tuesday, the Flyers are off to a surprising 2-0 start, the Sixers open their regular season among the league favorites to win the title on Tuesday, and the Eagles are the NFL's only undefeated team.
The city is feeding off each other as well. The Sixers made their presence felt at Citizens Bank Park and the Linc this week. The Flyers played the Phillies' final out to advance to the NLCS on the jumbotron during their game at the Wells Fargo Center on Saturday.
