The fans of Tennessee Titans were in a state of shock when the team’s star wide receiver A. J. Brown was announced to be sitting out their NFL Monday Night clash against the Buffalo Bills due to an unknown illness. However, in a complete turnaround of events, Brown made it to the pitch before the game and landed a brilliant performance, contributing to the hosts’ 34-31 victory at the Nissan Stadium. In the wake of the victory, Brown revealed that he had contracted food poisoning and claims it came from a visit to the famous American chain of fast casual restaurants, Chipotle, which specializes in burritos.
A. J. Brown had to take three IVs to get ready for the game
The announcement about A. J. Brown’s bad day with fast food was made by Joe Rexrode of The Athletic, on Twitter, who also revealed that the player was ‘very sick’ for 48 hours and was in need of IV fluids. He also stated that Brown himself pointed out Chipotle to be the reason behind his illness and made a joke that he won’t be getting any endorsement from the company as well.
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.”

Later, Jim Wyatt shared a clip of Brown where he stated that to get him ready for the Bills match, he was addressed more than three IVs, two of which he took earlier the day and another one and a half just prior to the game.
