The Philadelphia Eagles featured a historic defensive line last season, a group that flirted with the all-time record for most sacks as a team.

They lost 38-35 to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, and failed to record a single sack against Patrick Mahomes.

Several months later, Brandon Graham says the turf at State Farm Stadium helped neutralize Philadelphia's pass rush.

"You need that traction to be able to get off the block and we were slipping a lot," Graham said. "I don't make excuses. I just know that that's what was being talked about, us trying to get out of our own head a little bit, too.

... "I'm telling you that O-line, they got blessed, I'll say that."
