Brandon Graham is invincible.

Brandon Graham is on a freaking mission at the moment.

I’m not sure what exactly has gotten into the veteran defensive end, but not only is he the best pass rusher on the Eagles currently, but he’s also flat out one of the best pass rushers in all of football currently. Graham picked up his sixth sack of the season tonight, a game-sealing strip sack that came with less than a minute to go in the ballgame. He also added another TFL and another QB hit to his total for good measure, because why not.

I mentioned earlier in the week that Graham is the Philadelphia Eagles most valuable trade piece at the moment, and that still reigns true. Contending teams are always looking to add to their pass rush, and BG’s stock just keeps on rising.

With that said, it’s hard to imagine a scenario where the Eagles trade him anytime soon. He’s playing out of his mind, and a trade like that could seriously shake up the team’s locker room culture.

However, if Howie was feeling a little bit frisky and decided to field offers for the red hot Graham, we could be talking about a second-round pick potentially coming back in return. He’s playing that good right now.

Ultimately speaking, this was a super sloppy performance on TNF, one that will leave a lot of people feeling less optimistic about the team’s chances moving forward as opposed to more optimistic. Wentz threw another ugly pick, the O-Line continues to be abysmal, DeSean Jackson is probably done for the year, Daniel Jones rolled off an 80 yard run, etc etc etc. With that said, a win’s a win, and the Philadelphia Eagles are still somehow right in the thick of the NFC playoff picture.

Seven weeks into the season, and you’ll take that.
