We’ve figured it out. There are two guys named Josh Sweat, and they’re both on the Philadelphia Eagles roster. How else do we explain the up-and-down nature of his game?
Take the 2023-24 season for instance. One minute, he’s corralling Dak Prescott to preserve a home victory (or snagging a pick six off his arm in Arlington). The next, he’s held sackless for an eight-game stretch and barely cracking the stat sheet.
The Jekyll- and-Hyde nature of Sweaty’s game has been a conversation piece for a while, but if we’ve seen his final game in an Eagles jersey, he certainly left us with something to remember him by.
He tallied 2.5 sacks in Super Bowl LIX and damn near one the game’s MVP trophy in the process. Then Jalen Hurts went deep to DeVonta Smith to deliver the dagger and pretty much took it from him.
That’s okay. Sweat’s legacy is written in stone. In what will probably be his final game in midnight green, he played at his best on the biggest stage when his best was needed, but the obvious question comes next.
