The Philadelphia Eagles are 10-1 mainly because they’re loaded with Pro Bowl and All-Pro talent on both sides of the ball. They’re so good, in fact, that they give long-time beloved defensive end Brandon Graham a lot of confidence — especially in crunch-time situations.
As the Eagles battled the Buffalo Bills in overtime on Sunday, Graham wanted everyone to know that Jalen Hurts was inevitable. One play literally featured the veteran starting trash talk about Hurts to the Bills, stopping once the ball was snapped, and then seamlessly picking up where he left off when the play was over.
It takes a special kind of trash-talker on a great team to do something like this:

Look, if Hurts were my quarterback, I’d probably do everything possible to share that information as much as I could. That Graham got to do it in a wild overtime win, letting nothing interrupt his trash-talking cadence, isn’t remotely surprising.
Twitter loved Graham's smooth trash-talking transition against the Bills
BG has gotten his trash talk to the point where he casually stops for a play and then picks it right back up after. https://t.co/XylfnwtmjP

Playing defense and using your own QB as a point of trash talking is next level https://t.co/iOP7DAxgii
