Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown has been vocal about his experiences and feelings regarding Super Bowl LVII, where the Eagles narrowly lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 38-35. Reflecting on the game’s pivotal moments, Brown mentioned that after the Eagles took a 27-21 lead, he had an uneasy feeling about the game’s outcome. He stated, “When we went up 27-21, I knew deep down there was probably a chance we were going to lose.”
Brown also expressed frustration over a critical defensive holding penalty called against Eagles cornerback James Bradberry late in the game. This penalty allowed the Chiefs to maintain possession and eventually secure the win. Brown remarked that defensive backs often hold receivers without penalties being called, saying, “All the time, but refs don’t call it. They never call it. They just called it during the Super Bowl, on that one play.” Eagles’ A.J. Brown Reflects on Super Bowl LVII: ‘I Felt Like a Paid Actor’

He has emphasized the importance of minimizing distractions and maintaining focus amidst the Super Bowl’s heightened media attention. Brown stated, “I’m going to be at my best for the Super Bowl – going to be with my team, practice great every day, get my body right… We’re there to win the game, to keep the main thing, the main thing.”
The upcoming game offers the Eagles a chance at redemption and an opportunity for Brown to help lead his team to a championship victory.
