Daniel Jones - 7 sacks
Justin Fields - 6 sacks
Dak Prescott - 6 sacks
Andy Dalton - 7 sacks
51 of their 70 sacks came against those 8 QB's. 5 of those lines ranked among the Bottom 10 pass blocking lines in the league, per pass blocking win rate. 2 of them did rank in the Top 10 (Bears and Steelers).
Would you say the above list is an impressive list of QB's? Any Top 10 QB's in there??
How bout the playoffs:
Divisional: Daniel Jones, again. 5 more sacks for the Eagles.
NFC Title Game:
QB's faced:
One armed Brock Purdy, no armed Josh Johnson, and everyone's favorite running QB; Christian McCaffrey.
They managed 3 combined sacks against this collection of elite QB's.
So taking all that into account, are their sack numbers really as impressive as they look on the surface?
QB they will be facing in the Super Bowl? That would be Patrick Mahomes. The best QB in football. The soon to be annointed MVP. The guy that plays behind the #1 O-Line in the league for pass block win rate. The 3rd least sacked QB in the NFL among QB's with at least 400 pass attempts.
We'll see if the Eagles pass rushing 'dominance' continues against Kansas City in the Super Bowl . . . . . .
So much for that ‘dominant’ pass rush, huh Eagles fans?
We tried to tell you it was a mirage because of all the garbage QB’s you went up against.
Now you know what’s it’s like to go up against an elite O-Line and an elite QB.

Welcome to the BIGTIME!
Thanks for being humble. Great game! The tragedy is the call at the end. I know as Chief fans you have seen your share of bad calls so you can surely relate. As expected, Gannon sh1t the bed on D. The Hurts fumble and Sky return really hurt as well. Kudos to the O-Line I guess. If your getting rid of the ball in 2 seconds there is not much you can do as a D Line. Great year and congratulations! Go Birds! [Reply]

On paper, it seemed like it would be a really close game if you looked at the stats. It was tied in the final seconds before we kicked a game winning field goal. The Eagles played admirably, but the Chiefs were the better of the two best teams in football this year. [Reply]

Teams figured out Mahomes throw-deep or cross-body tendencies and he had to adjust.
Teams will figure out the Hurts College-style Running-QB offense... and we will find out how good of an actual QB he is. He has to stay healthy on top of that. Same critique I have of Josh Allen. [Reply]

It was a hold, your DB even admitted it after the game. [Reply]
