Come Sunday, the Eagles Have to Look to Run First
Posted on 21. Sep, 2010 by Mike Burke.
I hate to even talk about this subject, because it seems like too much to ask for with Andy Reid and his coaching staff. However, the way the Eagles ran the ball last week really opened up some eyes. We all knew LeSean McCoy had it in him, and he was able to shine when [...]

Just like the Eagles, the Lions starting quarterback had to leave the game last week due to an injury.
