It was Brown’s first appearance since Week 1 against the Broncos, a game he left after an apparent knee injury. The former Ole Miss star, in his 2nd NFL season, made 52 catches for 1,051 yards and 8 touchdowns as a rookie in 2019.
And Brown landed in some rare company with his first touchdown catch of 2020.
A.J. Brown is just the 40th player since the merger to have 9 TD receptions in his first 17 career games #Titans
