Brandon Graham’s Pre-Game Trash Talk at Super Bowl LVII
Prior to Super Bowl LVII, Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham tried to set the tone when he said to the Kansas City Chiefs, “Ain’t nobody scared of all y’all out here. Y’all boys come out five deep. We three deep. What’s good?” Unfortunately for Graham, the Chiefs didn’t pay much attention to his trash-talk.
On Saturday, the Chiefs released a mic’d-up video of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and defensive tackle Chris Jones from their 38-35 victory over Philadelphia. Although Philadelphia entered the game as a slight favorite, Graham’s pre-game comments didn’t seem to faze the Chiefs. In response to Graham, Jones simply answered: “May God bless you. May God bless you.”
Twitter user Keaton shared a clip of the interaction, which has been viewed nearly 1 million times. The Chiefs released the entire mic’d-up video of Jones and Mahomes, which shows the two players’ reactions to the pre-game coin toss and the subsequent trash-talking.
Graham’s pre-game trash-talking seemed to have no effect on the Chiefs, who went on to win Super Bowl LVII and take home their second championship in franchise history. While it’s not known if the Eagles would have won the game had Graham not attempted to psych out the Chiefs, it is clear that his pre-game comments had no bearing on the outcome.
