Brown's receiving role surged to career-high 11 catches as Bengals lean on pass game.

Despite Cincinnati's run game being bottled up by Jacksonville's defense (0.56 adjusted yards before contact per attempt, 11.1% rushing success rate), Brown stayed heavily involved as a receiver. His route rate jumped to 64% in Week 4 from 52% in Weeks 1-3, targets per route run increased to 30% from 19%, and target share rose to 21% from 11%, setting a career-high 11 receptions. OC Dan Pitcher called the run-game strategy "unsustainable" after just 23 yards, suggesting Brown's receiving touches should convert to touchdowns as the run game improves.
