“I’ve always had confidence in Ryan Mathews” said Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson when asked about his running back. “I think what you saw today was the guy that I kept seeing.. the guy we all wanted to see..” On Sunday, Mathews literally ran through the Atlanta Falcons en route to 109 yards on 19 carries and two touchdowns. He also contributed in the passing game with two receptions for 30 yards. For anyone that may be keeping track, that’s two more receptions than Dorial Green-Beckham had, and it puts him as one of the team’s leaders in receptions for the game.
