The Eagles took care of business against a struggling New York Jets team on Sunday in a dominant 31-6 victory. The scoreline looks skewed and that’s because it is, but it was thanks in large part to a tenacious defensive effort that was spearheaded by Brandon Graham.
The first three plays of the game really set the tone. Graham swallowed up LeVeon Bell on back-to-back rushing plays before coming up with a sack one play later. That would be the first of three that day, a new career-high for the man who has donned the midnight green jersey since 2010.
