New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown experienced a difficult outing on Sunday, recording three dropped passes during the team's win over the New York Jets, according to coverage from ESPN and NBC Sports. Brown had missed the previous four weeks of action while recovering from an ankle injury, which ESPN reported as a right high ankle sprain.
NBC Sports reported that Brown caught three of 10 targets from quarterback Drake Maye and also bobbled a late onside kick, which tight end Eli Raridon recovered to seal a 26-19 New England victory. Speaking after the contest, Brown dismissed the idea that his physical recovery contributed to the miscues, remarking that his timing was off but emphasizing that he remains capable of far better play.
How outlets are covering this
A.J. Brown experienced a rusty return from a four-game injury layoff on Sunday, logging three drops during New England's victory against the Jets. After the contest, the wide receiver took full accountability, stating that his health was not an excuse for the subpar performance.
Shared reporting
- Brown returned to the lineup on Sunday after missing four games due to an ankle injury.
- Brown dropped three passes during the Patriots' victory against the Jets.
- Brown stated after the game that he is much better than the performance he displayed on the field.
Different framing
- ESPN highlighted Brown's drops as a career-high mark directly in its headline, whereas NBC Sports framed its headline around Brown's postgame accountability quote.
Why it matters
Brown's ability to swiftly regain his timing will be critical for New England's offense, particularly given the short turnaround ahead of a Thursday game and injury concerns elsewhere in the receiver room.
