AJ Brown makes up for mistake after touchdown: Rebel Roundup
Your daily briefing on what’s going on with Ole Miss Athletics, including a former Rebels’ mistake after catching a touchdown pass.
It’s rare for a mistake to be made on a touchdown pass, but AJ Brown is used to doing rare things.
Brown, a former Ole Miss receiver, caught a touchdown pass in the third quarter of the Eagles’ 41-7 win against the Dallas Cowboys. He caught the pass from Tanner McKee, who was playing because of injuries to Jalen Hurts and Kenny Pickett, and it was McKee’s first NFL touchdown pass.
After making the catch, instead of bring the ball back to McKee, Brown threw it into the stands. But he quickly realized his mistake.
AJ Brown promised this Eagles fan his jersey after accidentally throwing teammate Tanner McKee's first TD ball into the stands 😅
Man of his word 🙏

Brown managed to get the ball back from the fan in exchange for Brown’s Kelly-green Eagles jersey he was wearing. Brown even signed the jersey for the fan.
“I wasn’t thinking,” Brown told Mike Garafolo of NFL Network after the game. “I just launched the ball. I’m glad we got it back for his first touchdown. … I gotta go sign a jersey for him [the fan], well deserved.”
