Count Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown among those who’d prefer to not play on Monday Night Football.
In fact, with the Eagles coming off a 20–17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks this past Monday, Brown is calling for the elimination of Monday night games in their entirety, and his reasoning makes sense.
“Because it’s a short week and then right after the game you only have a certain amount of time just for your body to recover, and it speeds up the process, and that adds … wear and tear with practice,” Brown told DraftKings on Thursday. “So it gets difficult. The Monday night games, I think, they shoulda took [them] out. I know it’s cool, everybody watching you on Monday night, but the turnaround after that, it’s difficult, especially if you leave the game a little banged up.”
