Michael Carter II intercepted Hurts (while bobbling the ball but ultimately preventing the ball from hitting the ground) on a play where it looked like Hollywood Brown wasn't expecting the pass to come his way. Brown was initially jogging before he looked up and started to sprint once he saw the ball in the air. Hurts targeted Brown downfield again and the ball was placed on the receiver's hands but the catch was not made.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Brown struggles with deep targets; missed catches, coverage issues in practice.

Brown had multiple deep targets from Hurts but failed to convert. On one play, Michael Carter II intercepted Hurts when Brown wasn't expecting the pass and was initially jogging before sprinting once he saw the ball in the air. On another deep attempt, the ball was placed on Brown's hands but he failed to make the catch with Cooper DeJean in tight coverage. The source notes these weren't all Hurts' fault but Brown's execution was lacking.
