Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown continues to make NFL history and now has five straight games with 125-plus receiving yards.
There's only one other player to ever do so and that's Hall of Fame wide receiver Calvin Johnson, who accomplished the feat back in 2012.
No other active player has been able to do the same until Brown on Sunday night in the Eagles' 31-17 win over the Miami Dolphins.
Here's a look at Brown's stats from the last five outings:
Week 3: 9 catches, 131 yards
Week 4: 9 catches, 175 yards
Week 5: 6 catches, 127 yards
Week 6: 7 catches, 131 yards
Week 7: 10 catches, 137 yards
The 10 catches for 137 yards are Brown's most recent numbers against the Dolphins, which included a beautiful 32-yard catch from quarterback Jalen Hurts to put the Eagles inside Miami's 1-yard line.
The catch ultimately set Philly up for a 'Tush Push' touchdown.
Just to be mentioned in the same sentence as Johnson is any offensive weapon's dream, but to be making history alongside him is an absolute honor.
"He’s a Hall of Fame receiver. Something I hope to be one day,” Brown said of Johnson.
