DETROIT — A.J. Brown stood alone from his spot along the visitors sideline.
His Eagles teammates were forced to watch the Lions’ pregame entrances ahead of the season opener on Sunday afternoon at Ford Field. Many of them huddled together, prayed individually, or jogged in place — but Brown, the team’s biggest offseason acquisition, wanted to find a spot to have a moment with himself.
The 6-foot-1, 226-pound receiver bobbed his head while he mouthed lyrics of rap tunes being blared on the speakers across the raucous indoor stadium. It didn’t take long, though, for Brown to silence the sold-out crowd on opening day.
