If there’s been one phrase that has defined this Eagles season offensively (not counting expletives), it’s ‘run the ball’. It took a few weeks to iron out, but the tandem of Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders started to rip through defenses like a hot knife through butter. Just as the duo were at their most dangerous, Howard picked up a stinger injury against his former team, the Chicago Bears. In the two games since the Eagles have not only been shorthanded at running back, but quick to throw the towel into the middle of the gameplanning ring.
This in itself is concerning.
