LANDOVER, Md. – Brandon Graham may have been biased, but when the Eagles end was asked if the Eagles’ defense had an identity, it’s likely that his brethren in the victorious locker room at FedEx Field would have nodded in agreement.
“I think we got a hell of a D-line,” Graham said after the Eagles exorcised their Redskins demons and knocked off the NFC East rivals, 30-17, in the opener. “We got everybody contributing today. Everybody was playing together, and that was why we was able to get sacks.”
The Eagles recorded four sacks, and two resulted in Kirk Cousins fumbles, the last forced by Graham and recovered by Fletcher Cox, who sauntered into the end zone for the game-clinching touchdown.
