Josh Adams averaged 4.5 carries for 25.9 rushing yards in the eight Eagles games he played before Sunday. Against the New York Giants, Adams took the ball from Carson Wentz a career-high 22 times, for 84 yards and the fourth-quarter touchdown that gave the home team its first lead.
"I don't know if I knew he had that in him, but it was great to see, something that we desperately needed," tight end Zach Ertz said of Adams, an undrafted rookie from Central Bucks South and Notre Dame. "I'm really excited to see him going forward."
The Eagles added 45 rushing yards on five carries from Corey Clement, for 129 on 27 attempts overall, if you don't count Wentz's two carries for minus-2.
