Eagles' Brown addresses performance speculation, compares struggles to Barkley's season

Posted Nov 20, 2025

A.J. Brown speaks out on the Philadelphia Eagles offensive struggles ahead of a critical matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Why it matters: As the Eagles prepare to face their NFC East rivals, the team is grappling with performance issues that could impact their playoff aspirations. Brown’s comments highlight the need for focus and improvement as the season progresses.

The Eagles currently hold an 8-2 record, but their offensive statistics tell a different story.
Ranking 25th in total yards (300.1 per game) and 28th in passing yards (184.9 per game), the Eagles’ offense has struggled to find its rhythm.

What’s new: A.J. Brown has publicly addressed speculation about his performance amid the team's overall offensive difficulties.

With only 38 receptions for 457 yards and three touchdowns through nine games, Brown is on pace for a career-low 812 yards this season.
In contrast, he emphasizes that star players like Saquon Barkley are also facing challenges, stating, "I guess Saquon ain't the same player either, then."

Yes, but: Despite individual struggles, the Eagles possess significant strengths that cannot be overlooked.

They boast the best red zone offense in the league with a conversion rate of 75% and have a league-low four turnovers this season.
Their rushing attack ranks 17th, averaging 115 yards per game, down from an impressive average of 179 rushing yards in 2024 (2nd in NFL).

What to watch: The upcoming game against the Cowboys will be pivotal for both teams.

The Cowboys, currently struggling with a 4-5-1 record, may present an opportunity for the Eagles to regain momentum.
Brown noted the team’s sense of urgency, saying, "We're desperate too. We're trying to get it going."

The bottom line: As the Eagles aim to solidify their playoff position, addressing their offensive inconsistencies will be paramount.

The juxtaposition of Brown's and Barkley's situations underscores a broader trend among NFL stars facing scrutiny despite their past successes.
For the Eagles, success against the Cowboys could provide the much-needed boost to reinvigorate their season and restore confidence heading into the final stretch.
