On Sunday, Hollywood Brown, the Kansas City Chiefs’ wide receiver, celebrated a major milestone in his career and faith as he notched two touchdowns against the Detroit Lions, marking a triumphant return to former glory. The timing of his success couldn’t have been more fortuitous, as Brown had been baptized just days prior by his team’s chaplain, Marcellus Casey, with his fiancée also receiving her baptism in the same ceremony. The ceremony, which took place on Friday, was a significant moment in Brown’s life, and he openly acknowledged its impact on his performance.
Brown, whose last double-touchdown performance was in 2021 while with the Baltimore Ravens, had remained a prominent figure in the Chiefs’ offense despite some early-season fluctuations. His recent resurgence was particularly notable as he stepped into the spotlight after the suspension of Rashee Rice and the injury-induced absence of Xavier Worthy. With the Chiefs fully healthy and Brown thriving as part of Patrick Mahomes’ offensive attack, his performance has become a key factor in the team’s continued dominance.
