PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Desperate for a win on the road in a short week with an injury-depleted roster, the Philadelphia Eagles turned to power football.
A successful run game saved Philadelphia’s September.
The Eagles (2-2) had 176 yards rushing in a 34-27 comeback win over the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field on Thursday night. The victory snapped a two-game losing streak and helped the team avoid potentially falling three games behind Dallas (3-0) in the NFC East.
Jordan Howard ran for 87 yards and two touchdowns, rookie Miles Sanders rushed for 72 yards, and the offensive line opened gaping holes.
