PHILADELPHIA − There was little chance that A.J. Brown's frustration would be cured on a cold and windy night that made throwing difficult for both the Eagles and the Detroit Lions .

The Eagles tried getting the ball to Brown, targeting him 11 times. And he did have 7 catches for 49 yards, both team highs.

But it was hardly a thing of beauty with wind gusts up to 25 mph affecting passes.
