A.J. Brown is on fire this season. From a spectacular catch for a touchdown to setting an NFL record, the Philadelphia Eagles player has inked his name as one of the NFL’s elite pass-catchers. Furthermore, by creating this new record, he has entered a game tied with two legendary players.

The Eagles headed to Washington for the NFL Week 8 game on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at FedEx Field, Landover, Maryland. Philly registered their consecutive win and with this, they sit triumphant over the other 31 teams as the top scorer this season so far. Furthermore, Eagles’ wide receiver A.J. Brown gave ‘Megatron’ vibes while playing against the Washington Commanders.

A.J. Brown achieved a major breakthrough!

Eagles’ WR A.J. Brown made history on Sunday when playing against the Commanders. He became the first NFL player to register more than 125 receiving yards in six straight games. The 26-year-old star did this during the fourth quarter of the showdown where the Eagles defeated the Commanders 38-31.

Before Brown, this 125+ yards spectacular record was held by Detroit Lions’ legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson in 2012, and former Lions receiver Pat Studstill in 1966. Brown’s record-setting runs in the last six games are as follows: “9 catches, 131 yards; 9 catches, 175 yards, 2 TDs; 6 catches, 127 yards; 7 catches, 131 yards; 10 catches, 137 yards, 1 TD; and 8 catches, 129 yards, 2 TDs.”

While Brown hasn’t surpassed Johnson who still holds the NFL’s 11-year-old record for receiving yards in a season, he channeled his inner Megatron during the game, giving the NFL world a glimpse into his splendid capabilities.

A.J. Brown’s gravity-defying catch

During the Eagles vs. Commanders game, A.J. Brown made a spectacular catch that reminded everyone of Calvin ‘Megatron’ Johnson. With the Eagles trailing 3-14 in the final minutes of the second quarter, QB Jalen Hurts threw a high pass to wide receiver Brown. To everyone’s surprise, Brown miraculously made a one-handed catch leading to his first touchdown and bringing his team back to the game.

He did this miracle despite having just 0.7 yards of separation and being well covered by Commanders cornerback Benjamin St-Juste. Brown’s phenomenal one-handed snag reminded fans of Megatron, who also made some incredible one-handed catches, one of the most famous being in 2015 while playing against the Green Bay Packers for his 17-yard touchdown.

It was a similar style to what fans witnessed in the last matchup with Brown. All in all, it’s fair to say that Brown has made a name for himself in the lines similar to the Megatron. Now, fans await what’s more in store for the wide receiver this season.
