Orlando Brown on Chiefs’ O-Line: ‘Zero Sacks. Put It on a F—ing T-Shirt’

The Eagles led the NFL in sacks during the 2022 season but couldn’t get to Patrick Mahomes during Super Bowl LVII.
In this story:

During the Chiefs’ 38–35 Super Bowl LVII win over the Eagles on Sunday, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes wasn’t sacked a single time.

This was quite the feat for the Chiefs’ offensive line, because the Eagles defense led the NFL with 70 sacks during the regular seas.

Chiefs offensive tackle Orlando Brown was hyped after the game because of the offensive line’s performance.

“Zero sacks. Put it on a f------ t-shirt,” Brown said. “This is a historic offensive line. You look at what coach [Andy] Reid, [offensive line coach] Andy Heck, [offensive coordinator Eric] Bieniemy, the position they put us in up front to allow us to have the consistency that we have week after week. To be able to stand up here as a world champion, none of that is possible without everyone understanding the plan. They continue to put us in a great position, they know the type of talent they have, they know the leadership they have.”

Brown later tweeted the same message.

Four members of the Eagles defense, Haason Reddick, Javon Hargrave, Josh Sweat and Brandon Graham, recorded at least 10 sacks during the regular season, but none of them could catch Mahomes behind the line of scrimmage Sunday.
