🔥 The Hot Corner

🏈 Stat of the Day: In 1984, fast-food chain Wendy’s asked: “Where’s the beef?”

We finally found its location – the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line. The team’s five starting linemen, on average, stand 6-foot-6 and weigh 338 lbs, making them the tallest and heaviest offensive line in Super Bowl history.

These beefcakes include:

  • Tackle Jordan Mailata, a former Australian rugby league player the Eagles drafted in the seventh round of the 2018 draft, who stands 6-foot-8 and weighs 365 lbs.
  • Guard Mekhi Becton – a specimen large enough to support three different nicknames, per the Wall Street Journal: Big Ticket, Highway 77, and Mount Becton – who clocks in at 6-foot-7 and 363 lbs.
  • Together, the two weigh more than a Harley-Davidson.

No wonder Eagles RB Saquon Barkley led the league in rushing this year.

More context: The Eagles o-line is more than an inch taller and 26 pounds heavier than their Chiefs counterparts – and nearly 100 lbs heavier than an average offensive lineman playing in the first-ever Super Bowl (252.1 lbs; not one cracked 275).

🤔 Did You Know? The city of Paris doesn’t have a single stop sign. Cars don’t come to a full stop at any intersection without a traffic light, but rather use a protocol where cars on the right have the right of way.
