Eagles vs. Titans: 4 storylines to watch in Week 13

Here are four storylines to watch during the Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tennessee Week 13 matchup

The Tennessee Titans (7-4) are ranked first in the AFC South and are headed to Philadelphia for an emotional Sunday afternoon matchup.

Philadelphia (10-1) looks to remain No. 1 in the NFC while also staying atop the NFC East division and there should be extra emotion surrounding A.J. Brown.

The Eagles are 7-5 all-time against the Titans, including 4-2 at home in Philadelphia.

Here are four storylines to watch in Week 13.

Eagles’ WR A.J. Brown looking to keep his emotions in check during matchup vs. Titans

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is looking to keep his emotions in check during Sunday’s matchup against the Tennessee Titans

A.J. Brown is normally a cool, calm, and collected guy, but Sunday will likely bring out a different animal from the former Ole Miss star.

Brown wanted to be paid like one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, and after Tennessee balked at that notion, he was traded to the Eagles in a draft night swap that gave the Titans a first and mid-round pick.

He’ll face his former team on Sunday afternoon, and for Brown, the most important part of the day will be keeping his emotions in check.

“That’s my former team. It’s another game on the schedule,” he said Wednesday with, as expected, a throng of reporters crowding his NovaCare Complex locker. “Of course, I’m excited. Of course, it means a lot, but I’ve got to be professional about it, keep my emotions down, and just play. Like I said after the game (on Sunday against Green Bay), my job this week is to be as consistent as possible.

“So, regardless of who we’re playing, that’s my focus.”

Brown has 53 receptions, for 831 yards, and 7 touchdowns on the season, while drastically upgrading the Eagles’ wide receiving corps.
