AJ Brown, former Ole Miss standout, unveils new sideline tradition in Philadelphia
Published:
Philadelphia picked up a 24-8 win Sunday in an NFC East matchup against Washington.
The Eagles also unveiled a new sideline tradition with the emergence of the Batman cape.
AJ Brown came up with the idea and donned the cape after catching a 9-yard touchdown pass from Jalen Hurts in the 2nd quarter.
The former Ole Miss standout had 5 catches for 85 yards in the game and afterward admitted that he had planned on breaking out the cape a week earlier for the home crowd in Philly instead of on the road.
He also humorously revealed where the cape came from.
