Brandon Graham now 5th on Eagles’ all-time sacks list

Brandon Graham had gone four games without a sack, but in the first quarter against the Giants, the Eagles ten-year veteran record sack number 8.5 on the season.

Graham now sits 1.5 sacks away from his season goal of 10 and he made history on the play, moving into sole possession of 5th place on the Eagles all-time sacks list with 51.

124.0 – Reggie White
85.5 – Trent Cole
76.0 – Clyde Simmons
54.5 – Hugh Douglas
51.0 – Brandon Graham

Graham should move into third at some point during the 2019 season and would need to average about six per season over the next two or three years to have a chance at catching Clyde Simmons for third.
