Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown became a Super Bowl Champion on Sunday.

The Eagles jumped out to an early lead against the Kansas City Chiefs and never looked back in a 40-22 blowout win in Super Bowl LIX. The Eagles were up 24-0 at halftime and 34-6 at the end of the third quarter before winning by 18.

Brown finished the game with three receptions for 43 yards and a touchdown.

After becoming a champion, he took to Instagram, telling his followers that he's not satisfied but it's not for the reason fans would think. He confirmed that while he loves being a champion, he still wants more targets and catches going into the 2025 season.

He's not even close to being satisfied.

"After a few days, I’ve had time to reflect on being a champion. I tried to feel how everyone made it seem to be a champion and unfortunately, it was short-lived..two days to be exact lol," part of Brown's caption read. "I’ve never been a champion at the highest level before but I thought my hard work would be justified by winning it all. It wasn’t. My thrill for this game comes when I dominate. It’s the Hunt that does it for me."

"It’s when the DB (defensive back) drops his head and surrenders because he can’t F with me. The Intense battles. Early mornings. Late nights. Sacrifices. I love putting smiles on people's faces, don’t get me wrong but it just wasn’t what I thought it would be. It’s the journey that I love the most. BACK 2 Work!" the rest of Brown's statement read.

Brown finished the 2024 season with 67 receptions for 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns.

He'll now try to help the Eagles win their second straight Super Bowl when the 2025 season starts in September.
