Brandon Graham, DE

The Super Bowl Hero, Brandon Graham finally made a significant play last week. This week, we need some more of that, and we need it often. Graham had a slow start to the season, and he may be the only one on the defense with a pass for that. After all, he is returning just a few months after getting ankle surgery in the offseason.

Graham hasn’t missed a game yet, but we didn’t really feel his presence until recently. We need a much better game from Graham and the rest of the defensive line this week. With Derek Barnett being out on the opposite side, the pass rush will definitely miss one of the more consistent pass rushers of this season.

An NFC Championship rematch at home would be the perfect environment for Graham to go off and give former division enemy, Kirk Cousins a rough time in the pocket. The secondary needs the Eagles pass rush from last season, and hopefully, Brandon Graham can get back on his A-game to make that happen on Sunday.
