In his Philadelphia Eagles debut last week, former Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift barely made an impact. In 19 snaps, Swift saw just a single carry for 3 yards and a catch for 0 yards.
But in Week 2, with Eagles starting running back Kenneth Gainwell out with an injury, Swift had arguably the best game of his professional career—all while playing the first home game in his hometown.
The Eagles made Swift the workhorse back on Thursday night against the Minnesota Vikings, and the fourth-year running back rewarded their trust.
