Though Quinn is not what he once was, his impact will be felt. On the field for about 66% of plays this season, his three quarterback hits and solo sack are well below his season production last year.
Still, now on the Eagles, Quinn will get to experience playoff football for only the third time in his career. Being impactful in his previous two games, this trade focuses on depth into the postseason.
Robert Quinn Playoff Stats
| Year | Opponent | Sacks | QB Hits | Snaps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | LA Rams | 1 | 1 | 67 |
| 2020 | New Orleans Saints | 0 | 1 | 48 |
With over 100 career sacks and 176 QB hits, Quinn will join an Eagles defense that falls just outside of the top 10 in sacks.
Pressure added from Quinn may not lead to sacks but could rush quarterbacks. With the Eagles just an interception away from tying the league-leading Bills in INTS (10), this may the final piece needed to strengthen the Eagles Super Bowl odds.
Over the last seven Super Bowls, the team allowing the lesser passing yards on the season has won six of them. This shows the importance of pass rushing and corner play in the Super Bowl.
