The Eagles are back in the Super Bowl, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. A shot at redemption against the same Chiefs team that broke their hearts two years ago? That’s a Hollywood script waiting to be written. But while the spotlight shines on Jalen Hurts and the offense, there’s another storyline brewing. One that could give Nick Sirianni‘s team the emotional boost it needs.

Enter Brandon Graham. But, wait… The veteran pass rusher wasn’t supposed to be here.

At least, not after tearing his triceps in week 12. However, good for Philly, Graham doesn’t think that way. He’s fought his way back, and now, just days before kickoff, there’s a real chance he suits up for one last ride.

Appearing on the Pat McAfee Show on Friday, Nick Sirianni admitted that he isn’t taking any of it for granted. “Brandon Graham has been here the whole time to give himself a chance to play in this game… He had a good run yesterday and we’ll see where that goes.” Translation? Graham isn’t just going through the motions… Oh, no! But he’s pushing to make an impact. That’s a veteran for you right there. No drama, nothing.

No wonder at 36, he’s already cemented his legacy as an Eagles legend, ranking third in franchise history in sacks (75.5) and tied for second in forced fumbles (21). But this? This is different. This is about proving, once again, that he belongs on the biggest stage.

And let’s be honest—Philly’s defense could use the help. The pass rush has been inconsistent, and Graham’s presence alone changes the dynamic. His ability to pressure the quarterback could be a nightmare for Patrick Mahomes. But don’t just laugh it off… If there’s one thing we know about Graham, it’s that he delivers in big moments. Just ask Tom Brady. That strip sack in Super Bowl LII? Yeah, have that!

The result? Eagles 41, Pats 33. Game. Set. Match. TB12 couldn’t complete the 3-peat because of it, you know (SB LI was a W, and SB LIII was a W as well). Sure, on Jan 26, while broadcasting, Brady gave Nick Foles the subtle nod for stopping him from doing that. But it surprised us that he forgot to mention Graham, the guy you locked his dreams.

So, I guess this could be another one of those big moments for the vet to become the 3-peat killer! And Graham? He’s ready! “Whatever I’ve got to do for this one game,” he said. “I feel like I can do it.” If that doesn’t fire up the locker room, what will?

Nick Sirianni has a warning for the Chiefs: Jalen Hurts

“All Jalen Hurts does is win.” That’s not a tagline. That’s Nick Sirianni screaming it on the Pat MacAfee Show a week before the Super Bowl, and days after the Eagles punched their ticket to New Orleans beating the Cinderella Commanders. The stats? They back it up. Hurts is 89-27 as a starter in college and the NFL. The only thing missing? A Super Bowl ring.

However, now, he’s got another shot at it—against the KC that crushed his dream two years ago. Do you think that’s not personal?

Hurts was locked in during the NFC Championship Game, torching the Commanders for 246 passing yards, a touchdown, and three rushing scores. The Eagles didn’t just win; they dominated, putting up 55 points. But after the game, Sirianni made one thing clear—Hurts doesn’t care how they win. “We don’t care. If we rush for 300 and pass for one and we win, great. If we rush for one and pass for 300, great. Who cares?” That’s the Eagles’ identity. Adapt and conquer.

Meanwhile, that adaptability was tested all season. Early on, the Eagles leaned on their passing attack. So, the results? A shaky 2-2 start and too many turnovers. But then came the shift. The Eagles put the rock in Saquon Barkley’s hands, leaned on their elite O-line, and rattled off 10 straight wins.

Hurts wasn’t throwing as much, but when the moment called for it, he delivered—just like he did against Washington. “The guy has been clutch,” Sirianni said. “He’s won a ton of football games.” Yet, somehow, the doubt still lingers. His passing ability? Questioned. His leadership? Picked apart. Even his relationship with A.J. Brown was a topic of debate this season. However, through it all, Hurts did what he always does—kept winning.

Meanwhile, his background photo? A reminder of unfinished business. A shot of him walking off the field in Arizona, Chiefs’ confetti falling around him. “The mission is to go take advantage of the opportunities we present ourselves with,” Hurts said. Undoubtedly, he’s got the biggest one of all.

But this would be a legacy-building moment for him, too. You see, the last QB to return to the Super Bowl after losing his first? Jim Kelly. Well, now, it’s Hurts’ chance to latch onto the recency-bias factor of the fans and etch his name as the ONE!
