While AJ Brown Sat Out, Jahan Dotson Quietly Stole the Spotlight with the Game’s Most Overlooked Play.QQ
Jahan Dotson made one play against the Giants but it was worth replaying over and over.
The Philadelphia Eagles were without top wide receiver A.J. Brown on Sunday, but it didn’t seem to faze them after they pulled off a 38-20 win over the New York Giants on Sunday.
One of the best and most underrated plays of the game was when wide receiver Jahan Dotson completely mossed Giants cornerback Korie Black for a 40-yard touchdown catch.

That touchdown put the Eagles up 38-13 late in the game and marked quarterback Jalen Hurts’ fourth passing score of the day.

It also marked the first game of the season where the Eagles’ offense looked good through all four quarters.
“I think that there’s no secret we want to be a balanced offense that can run and close games out, be explosive in the pass game, be efficient in the pass game,” head coach Nick Sirianni said. “And so, regardless of who was in, we had a lot of faith in those wideouts. Obviously, anytime you lose a player like AJ for a game, it changes some things as far as how you go about putting guys in different positions. But naturally, you want to have faith in the guys that you have that are backing them up, whether that’s a receiver or o-line. You still go about doing what they can do the best, but also putting them in a position to make plays.”
Dotson only made one catch in the win, but it was one that certainly didn’t go unnoticed. His big play also proved that the Eagles can rely on their backups when they need to.
