A.J. Brown caught six passes for 96 yards and a score as the Philadelphia Eagles trounced the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game. The wide receiver will now embark on the interminable two-week layoff before the Super Bowl, having made the trip once before with the Eagles. That trip ended in a heartbreaking loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. But Brown, who has done a lot of reading since then, is looking forward to this trip with lessons learned from the last.

“This is very different,” Brown said. “My emotions are intact. Of course, I’m excited for guys who haven’t been before. But I just want to win. I just want to win. Maybe I’ll let my emotions go if we get to do that.”
