The Titans had a lot of trouble pa sing the ball in their 20-17 "Sunday Night Football" lo s to the Chiefs in Week 9, and A.J. Brown took notice.Brown, a former Titans receiver who was traded to the Eagles during the 2022 Dayo Odeyingbo Jersey NFL offseason, took to Twitter to note that he was unimpre sed by the performance of his replacements against the Chiefs."Ain't nobody open," Brown wrote in a tweet that has since been deleted.AJ Brown trolling his old team B/R Gridiron (@brgridiron) This isn't the first time that Brown has used social media to take a dig at the Titans. The fourth-year wide-out amid a contract dispute with Tenne see. He also put the onus of the blame for his departure on the Titans by tweeting after he was dealt to the Eagles.MORE: Brown has insisted that there is between him and the Titans, but it does appear that at the very least, he is keeping receipts as Tenne see's pa sing game struggles Braden Smith Jersey without a true star receiver.The i sue goes beyond the No. 1 receiver spot, however. The team simply doesn't have much talent in its receiver room, and it showed on Sunday night.Titans wide receivers were targeted a total of just five times on Zach Pascal Jersey Malik Willis' 16 pa ses against the Chiefs. None of them was able to bring in a catch.NFL POWER RANKINGS: It must be noted that Willis completed just five total pa ses for 80 yards during his second career start.
