BROWN VAULTING UP FRANCHISE ROOKIE CHARTS: Wide receiver A.J. Brown had five receptions for a season-high 153 yards and two touchdowns last week. His performance included a 91-yard touchdown catch.

Brown is the team’s leading receiver in every major category through 13 games, accounting for 39 receptions for 779 yards and six touchdowns. He trails only Seattle’s DK Metcalf (783) among rookies in receiving yards and is tied for sixth place among rookies in receptions. He is also tied for second on the rookie leaderboard in touchdown catches, trailing the New York Giants’ Darius Slayton (seven).

Additionally, Brown has vaulted up the franchise’s all-time rookie receiving charts. With three games remaining in the regular season, he already has the fourth-most receiving yards by a rookie in franchise history. With 45 more receiving yards, he will overtake Chris Sanders (823 yards in 1995) for third place and trail only former Oilers Bill Groman (1,473 yards in 1960) and Ernest Givins (1,062 yards in 1986).

Brown is one of only three Titans/Oilers rookies with at least 750 receiving yards and six touchdown catches. Groman accomplished the feat in 1960, the first year of the franchise’s existence, posting 1,473 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns. Sanders is the only other player to reach both marks as a rookie. He had 823 yards and nine touchdowns in 1995.
