1. Isn’t that special: Darren Sproles’ 83-yard punt return for a touchdown in the third quarter and Chris Maragos’ punt block that Najee Goode returned for a score in the second quarter were the difference in the game. Maragos also threw the first, key block that sprung Sproles. Also, Sproles replaced DeMarco Murray as the starter and ran 15 times for 66 yards; Murray, eight times for 24 yards. Kenjon Barner ran nine times for 39 yards.
2. Gut checks: Left tackle Jason Peters has been limited by back, quadriceps and ankle injuries, medical issues that began five games ago.
