Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is on a hot streak that no other player in NFL history has achieved. After collecting his sixth straight game of 125 receiving yards or more, Brown sits alone in the record books, surpassing Pat Studstill and Calvin Johnson, who had five straight games at that mark.

Brown’s high level play is creating buzz for postseason awards, specifically the offensive player of the year category. The wideout, in his second season with the Eagles, is second in the NFL in receiving yards (939) with 831 of those yards coming in his last six games He is first in catches of 20 or more yards (17) and tied for fourth in receptions (60).

Only Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill (1,014 receiving yards and eight touchdowns) is having a better season statistically for a wide receiver, although the Eagles defense held him to just 88 receiving yards two weeks ago.

The offensive player of the year race is heating up as the Eagles are heading into their toughest stretch of the season, with the Cowboys looming on Sunday.
