A.J. Brown, the Patriots’ big-name wide receiver, just had another brutal half, putting up a measly one reception for 18 yards against the Chicago Bears on Thursday night. New England went into halftime trailing 20-14, and Brown barely factored into the offense, seeing just two targets from Drake Maye.
Another Rough Start For the First-Year Patriot
After struggling in his return from injury last week against the New York Jets, things absolutely did not get any better for A.J. Brown in the opening half of this Bears game. Quarterback Drake Maye gave him “very few looks,” which is a wild statement for your top receiver, right? To only get two targets and haul in one catch for 18 yards when your team is already down 20-14 at the half? That’s not the impact New England expected, especially for a guy they brought in to be a game-changer.
Fans Are Over It: Where Does A.J. Go From Here?
The quiet game from Brown has fans, and especially fantasy managers, absolutely fuming. It’s only his first year with the Patriots, and after the hype, watching him put up these kinds of numbers, especially coming off another rough outing post-injury, has people “lamenting” what’s happening. They’re wondering if he’s healthy, if he’s clicking with Maye, or if this is just how it’s gonna be. The article itself says it’s getting updated, which tells you everything: this story is far from over.
This situation is definitely one to keep an eye on. With the article promising more information and analysis, Patriots fans are no doubt glued to see if A.J. Brown can turn things around or if this frustrating trend continues.
