While he's had a slow start to the season, there's a strong case for AJ Brown's breakout performance with a touchdown in the upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

AJ Brown, the Philadelphia Eagles' ace receiver, has had a lukewarm start to this NFL season. There's been an uncharacteristic lack of targets, leading to frustration and sideline debates with quarterback Jalen Hurts. Yet, as the Eagles prepare to clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it's time for the narrative to shift. Here's why the numbers, the setup, and the sheer hunger for production suggest that Brown is on the brink of a touchdown.

First, let's dive into the data. Brown's record last season was impressive, finding the endzone 11 times during the regular season and even scoring in the Super Bowl. Rarely did he go three straight games without producing a touchdown. This season, however, he's been more silent than we're used to, and it's clear that he's itching to make his presence known once again.

The Buccaneers' defense, while decent, has been struggling with injuries. With defensive players like Calijah Kancey out and Vita Vea, Carlton Davis III, and Ryan Neal all questionable, the Bucs are not in their top form.  

Moreover, the Buccaneers' defense, while tight against the rush, has been more lenient in the air. They've surrendered an average of 248.5 yards through the air, along with three touchdowns. This could be the golden ticket for Brown. With his speed and agility, he's capable of exploiting this vulnerability and racking up those much-needed yards.

On the other side of the field, the Eagles have Jalen Hurts. While Hurts and Brown may have had their disagreements, there's no denying that when they're in sync, they're a force to be reckoned with. Hurts' ability to move the ball in the air is unmatched, and with the Bucs' defense dealing with injuries, he has a real shot at helping Brown get back into his groove.
