A.J. Brown, Eagles put ‘whooping’ on Titans as Jalen Hurts stars in passing showcase

New York Times  

Brown thought he scored a 40-yard touchdown against the team that traded him seven months ago, so he grabbed his towel, ran to the goal post and sent a message. “Today, I’m going to have to give you this whooping,” Brown said, explaining his celebration. “I’m happy that he put on a show.” Brown always confessed to “mixed emotions” about the trade even when he tried to downplay the significance of the game in recent days. Brown utilized “late hands,” a tactic in which he doesn’t lift his hands until the last possible second to keep the cornerback from developing an idea the ball is dropping. “Tried to tell him — they don’t listen sometimes — that, ‘Be ready, the ball could come your way,’” Hurts said.
