Brandon Graham rarely has nothing to say, except when it comes to the Philadelphia Eagles' archrivals. The two-time Super Bowl champion was asked on "Good Morning Football" recently to say something nice about the Dallas Cowboys.

"I will, that boy… I'm sorry I still can't," chuckled Graham.

The Cowboys have been a Jekyll-and-Hyde team so far this season on offense and defense. They lead the league in offensive yards per game with an average of 404.3. On the opposite side, though, Matt Eberflus, the team's first-year defensive coordinator, is taking a lot of heat for how poorly his group has performed early on.

After four games, the Cowboys have allowed 420.5 yards of offense per game, the most in the NFL. Without Micah Parsons, they have registered the joint third-fewest sacks in the league with only five. They have given up an NFC-high 132 points so far, including 40 last Sunday against one of their archrivals, the Green Bay Packers, in a 40-40 tie.

It shouldn't be a massive surprise that Graham, who has played his entire career with the Eagles, had nothing good to say about the Cowboys on Friday. After all, Philly has had a long and heated rivalry with America's Team dating back to the 1960s.

The two teams met in the opening game of the 2025 regular season, with Jalen Carter ejected seconds into the encounter for spitting at Dak Prescott. Philly wound up winning that game 24-20.

Brandon Graham has "respect" for Dak Prescott

He was speechless about the Cowboys this week, but last summer Graham had a lot of good things to say about Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott.

In May, Graham said of Prescott:

"Got much respect for him. He always makes us work."

Graham added that when playing against him, Prescott was extremely difficult to contain, and he was thoroughly impressed with some of the throws the Cowboys pivot was able to make.

"He made some throws in there after some years when we've been playing. And I'll be like, wow, OK," said Graham.

When his now-former team faced the Cowboys in Week 1 this season, Prescott put up 152 yards passing, completing all but four of his throws.

The next time the two NFC East rivals square off will be Nov. 23 at AT&T Stadium.
