Cardinals' Defense Transformed: Josh Sweat's Arrival Set to Shake Up NFC West Rivals
However, his value to the Eagles has been more about reliability and consistency more than off-the-charts numbers. His 17.6% pressure rate last season was barely above the league average (17.5%) among edge rushers with at least 150 pass rushes. His 3.2% adjusted sack rate and 12.3% run disruption rate were both below the NFL averages (3.6% and 14.2%, respectively).
What mattered most to the Eagles is how Sweat came up big against the Chiefs with a season-high six tackles (two solo, four assists), 2.5 sacks (a career high and just 0.5 shy of a Super Bowl record), three quarterback hits on Mahomes and two tackles for loss in Super Bowl LIX.
