Sydney Brown had plenty of reps during the Philadelphia Eagles' Week 12 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, and rather than rising to the occasion, he performed, unfortunately, as expected.
The diminutive third-year safety was forced into action due to an injury to Reed Blankenship with his thigh. Then, Andrew Mukuba is now sidelined with a lower leg injury, requiring him to wear a walking boot and use crutches.
Brown has a bit of a cult following in Philadelphia for his ferocious, tenacious play, which at times has led to plenty of "stupid" penalties, most notably a brawl in the 2024 season that resulted in a suspension.
