Sweat is looking for a 15-sack season in 2023, and he’s a significant reason Philadelphia led the NFL with a team record of 70 sacks on the season, falling just two short of the NFL single-season record of 72 set by the Chicago Bears in 1984.

While addressing the media over the weekend, Sweat was asked about which team has the NFL’s top offensive line.
