Brown is in his 1st season with the Eagles after beginning his career with the Tennessee Titans. He once again proved himself as one of the top receivers in the NFL this season, going for 1,496 yards in the regular season.
This was Brown’s 1st touchdown of the postseason. The Eagles had a heavy-rushing attack in blowout wins over the Giants and 49ers prior to reaching the Super Bowl.
This was Hurts’ 2nd touchdown of the game. He got the Eagles on the board with a rushing touchdown in the 1st quarter.
