The Philadelphia Eagles roll into Week 6 refreshed as they had their bye in Week 5. Although it came early on in the season, it was an ideal spot for Philadelphia. They dropped two of their last three games and are looking to get back into the win column.

They are hosting the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, which looks good to Eagles fans. The Browns are 1-4 and have dropped three games in a row.

In that contest, defensive end Brandon Graham is set to make team history.

Eagles News: Brandon Graham is Going Make Team History

On Sunday, Graham is going to become the first player in team history to play in 200 games with the franchise. That is an incredible feat for Graham. He's only played for the Eagles in his 15-year career.

The 36-year-old was selected in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft and has made his presence felt in the organization. The Michigan product is fourth in team history in sacks (74), constantly creating havoc in the backfield.

Jason Kelce played in 193 games in his Eagles career. Fletcher Cox and David Akers notched 188 appearances. Meanwhile, Brian Dawkins had 183 games with the Birds.

Graham is illustrating his longevity and still has a prominent role on defense. He's currently second among defensive ends in total snaps (127), logging 30-plus snaps in three of the four games played.

He's racked up five total tackles and one sack in 2024. Graham will have a chance to generate some pressure, as the Browns have allowed the most sacks in the NFL (26). It could end up being a very successful day for Graham and the Eagles.
