WHEN THE EAGLES RUN THE BALL
The Eagles are averaging 27.6 rushing attempts per game, which is the ninth most in the league, and are seventh in run-play percentage (44.9). While they run a lot, they don't always run effectively. They are averaging a middle-of-the-pack 4.1 yards per attempt. They rotate four RBs, but Ryan Mathews usually is the main guy. He has a team-high 53 carries and rushed for 60 yards on nine carries at Washington.
