Tennessee Titans star wideout AJ Brown opened up about dealing with food poisoning which had him listed as questionable prior to Monday. Brown ended up playing in the Titans' Week 6 game against the Buffalo Bills after being on the injury report earlier last week due to a pesky hamstring injury and his recent illness didn't help.
“I got three IVs, I got two this morning and a bag and a half before the game. Like I said earlier, I didn't know if I was going to play or not,” Brown said after the game, dealing with food poisoning for the past 48 hours (via Titans' Jim Wyatt). And, when Wyatt asked him what he ate, his response was: “Chipotle.”

As it appears, Brown had a bad burrito from the Mexican fast-food chain. During his postgame, he ended up mentioning Chipotle more than once.

AJ Brown had food poisoning. Was very sick for 48 hours, needed an IV. From where? “Chipotle. I’m sorry, Chipotle. Probably won’t get an endorsement with Chipotle.”

Bad beans or not, Brown sucked it up and played one hell of a game on Monday night. The Pro Bowler was QB Ryan Tannehill's primary target against the Bills and caught seven receptions for a total of 91 receiving yards. Although it was the ‘Derrick Henry Show' all evening long, Brown was solid as usual as the Titans ended up with the home win.
