Fan-Demonium: The Domino Effect Up Front

Back in 2013, the Eagles’ offensive line had a great season. The five starters stayed healthy all year and played at a very high level. That helped LeSean McCoy lead the league in rushing. It helped Nick Foles have one of the best quarterback ratings in league history. It helped DeSean Jackson and Riley Cooper have career best seasons. The skill players thrived because the men up front played so well.

Injuries hit the offensive line in 2014 and there was a trickle-down effect. McCoy wasn't as productive. Foles came crashing back down to earth. The offense was still good, but it wasn't as consistent or explosive as 2013.
