Browns vs. Titans: 5 Bold predictions for crucial Week 13 AFC matchup
4. Brown breaks off a 50+ yard touchdown
Coming into the 2020 season, there were actually people who believed that wide receiver A.J. Brown was going to regress after hitting the ground running in Tennessee as a rookie a season ago. While he has missed some time due to injuries, the former Ole Miss standout and second-round pick has picked up right where he left off.

In nine games, Brown has gone off for 638 yards on 40 receptions along with an impressive eight touchdowns on the year. Furthermore, he’s consistently showcased his big-play ability this season, boasting a long touchdown of 73 yards and with 30 of his 40 catches on the year going for first downs. To put it simply, Brown almost always breaks off huge chunks of yardage.
There is no question that the Browns secondary has some talented pieces but they are also short-handed coming into Week 13. Safety Ronnie Harrison, who was a fantastic value trade pickup this offseason, is going to be out for the matchup with the Titans. And because of that, Brown is going to break a really big one on Sunday.
Brown is not only capable of getting open vertically but he’s one of the most underrated (for now) YAC receivers in the league. Without the top safety on the Cleveland defense in the mix, he’ll make players on the second level mix and go off for at least a 50-yard touchdown in this game, setting the tone for a high-scoring affair.
