Cornerback Marshon Lattimore will face Brown for the fourth time in his career on Sunday at Northwest Stadium.
Since 2022, no player has collected more receiving yards against the Commanders than Philadelphia Eagles wideout A.J. Brown, who has 462 yards along with five touchdowns in his five meetings with Washington. The bulk of those yards came in 2023, when Brown taught a rookie cornerback a few lessons in coverage.
Marshon Lattimore, the four-time Pro Bowl cornerback acquired in a trade with the New Orleans Saints last month, was inactive and recovering from a hamstring injury when the Commanders lost to the Eagles in Week 11. His first game back from the injury was last week against his former team, which didn’t target him once in his 35 coverage snaps, according to Next Gen Stats.
Joe Whitt Jr. said Thursday. “I don’t foresee that being the case moving forward because people are at some point going to have to throw the ball at him.”
Lattimore has faced Brown in particular three times in his career. The first was in Week 16 of the 2019 season, when Brown was a rookie receiver for the Tennessee Titans. Lattimore traveled during the game, but Brown finished with one catch for 34 yards, which was against Lattimore in coverage.
Then in 2021, Brown was held to one catch on four targets for 16 yards in a Titans win over the Saints.
When they met again, in 2022, Brown’s first season with the Eagles, he had 97 yards on four catches, one of which was a 78-yard touchdown. He beat Paulson Adebo, not Lattimore, on the catch-and-run. Lattimore sealed the Saints’ victory with a fourth-quarter pick-six.
Passage of the legislation, which transfers the land to D.C. at no cost, is a tremendous win for Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D), who has long sought to redevelop the site.
Congress has passed legislation giving D.C. control of RFK Stadium and allowing the city to redevelop more than 170 acres of federal property surrounding it, a political miracle that came in the twilight hours of the year’s congressional session and after almost every avenue for the legislation appeared exhausted.
The U.S. Senate passed the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act by unanimous consent at about 1:15 a.m. Saturday — a Hail Mary action that required the support of all senators present without objection.
Passage of the legislation, which transfers control of the land to D.C. at no cost, is a tremendous win for Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D), who for years has sought to turn the property surrounding the decaying football stadium into a major new attraction and...
