The Eagles defensive line.

The 2020 Philadelphia Eagles have a lot of flaws, but their defensive line is not one of them. While it did take them a ridiculous amount of money to do so, the Eagles have assembled one of the better D-Line units in all of football. Even with injuries, they run fairly deep at both DT and DE, and they are all getting to opposing quarterbacks with ease.

The Eagles are tied for third in the league in terms of total team sacks forced (24.0), and Brandon Graham has established himself as one of the NFL’s premier edge rushers. Josh Sweat and Derek Barnett both look like legitimate starting-caliber defensive ends, and Fletcher Cox has started to come alive in recent weeks.

Marquee free agent signing Javon Hargrave has yet to really establish himself as someone who was worth the $39 million that Howie Roseman shelled out for him, but one has to hope that he’ll turn it on eventually. A somewhat depleted Dallas O-Line might just be the team to do it against.

Considering the fact that DiNucci will be making his first career start on Sunday, the Eagles have to be feeling pretty good about their chances of getting to him early and often.
