Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown hasn’t played in slightly over a month and now that he’s back from a chest injury, Brown exploded for 11 catches and 145 yards in the Titans 20-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.
Brown and the Titans had a slow start but when the second half happened, the Titans got it together on offense. That included this 18-yard catch in the fourth quarter to put the Titans in front.

Brown’s 49ers counterpart Deebo Samuel deserves some recognition as well, with his 159 receiving yards and 32 yards rushing but in the end, it’s all about the W.
Social media went off on Brown’s big return as it’s setting up to be a pivotal time for the Titans.
Big AJ brown guy!!

See how much better Tannehill was with AJ Brown back. Funny how that works, huh?

Deebo Samuel & AJ Brown tonight…
Both WRs are really physical at the top of the route. Will initiate contact. And make you work in the secondary.
Deebo can shift gears immediately after the catch. Sudden, explosive.
AJ Brown on in-breakers. Create leverage to the ball.
