The Philadelphia Eagles once again pulled off a thrilling victory, and star defender Brandon Graham is not surprised. Graham is making Eagles news for his comments caught on a hot mic during the overtime coin toss.
After winning the coin toss, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis announced the team would receive. Graham quickly issued a three-word response: “It don’t matter.” Graham then selected the side of the field Philadelphia would defend.
Turns out Graham was indeed correct as the Bills settled for a field goal in their opening overtime drive. Buffalo had a chance to score the game-winning touchdown, but Josh Allen could not connect with Davis.
The Eagles were able to march down the field on their own scoring drive. Jalen Hurts called game by running into the end zone to secure a 37-34 victory for Philly.
Here’s a look at the video clip that has Eagles fans buzzing.

Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts: ‘I Have Not Executed to the Level of My Standard’
Despite the hot streak, Hurts is not satisfied with the Eagles play so far. The Philly quarterback is creating Eagles news by admitting that he has not played up to the “standard” that he has set for himself.
“Obviously, we have a ton to clean up,” Hurts told reporters on November 26. “I have a ton to clean up. I have not executed to the level of my standard and what that is yet. It seems to be enough.
“But in terms of the standard that I’d like to play to consistently, and I’d like us to play to consistently as a team, enough is never enough.”
