Then the trade happened.
The Eagles sent LeSean McCoy, the franchise’s all-time leading rusher, to Buffalo. In exchange, the Eagles received Kiko Alonso, a young linebacker who took the league by storm in 2013 before an injury robbed him of his 2014 season. Now, a game that didn’t look so enticinghas become one of the most anticipated games of the season and one of the most anticipated Eagles’ homecomings. Mark your calendars: December 13th is LeSean McCoy’s Lincoln Financial Field return. It will be the first of three straight December home games and will cap off the Eagles’ AFC schedule.
