When the Philadelphia Eagles parlayed players on their roster in the off season, it was a foregone conclusion that the team would live and die by their running game. And so far, that has come to pass. Or rather, not to pass.
Despite a roster built with excellent veteran runners, who suit up in stark contrast to a receiving corps who have wide receiver Riley Cooper and tight end Brent Celek as the venerable veteran receivers, the team continues to pass more than run. And with passes comes the infamous interceptions. As of the ninth game in the season, the Philadelphia Eagles have scored 11 times through the air, but have tossed 11 interceptions.
