Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham didn’t wait until Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns started to talk some trash.

He stood in the end zone and let Browns players hear about it as they headed back to the locker room following pregame warm-ups:

Graham was surely fired up ahead of what was a milestone game for him.

Sunday was his 200th regular-season game with the Eagles, which is a franchise record. Washington Commanders linebacker Nick Bellore, Miami Dolphins defensive lineman Calais Campbell, Houston Texans defensive end Jerry Hughes and New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan are the only other active NFL defensive players to reach that mark with a team.

The 2020 Pro Bowler isn’t quite the same player he was at his peak, but he appeared in all 17 games in each of the last two seasons and suited up in Philadelphia’s first four games this year.

Graham finished with five tackles and one sack in those first four contests.

In an ideal world for the Eagles, his energy ahead of Sunday’s game will help in their get-right efforts. After impressing with a season-opening win over the Green Bay Packers, the NFC East team went 1-2 in the next two games and returned home for just the second game at Lincoln Financial Field this year.

A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith also returned to the lineup, which figured to give the offense a boost.

As for Graham and the defense, Sunday was a chance to go up against a struggling Deshaun Watson. The Cleveland quarterback has yet to throw for 200 yards in a game this season and entered play with five touchdown passes to three interceptions.
