Eagles HC Chip Kelly says 'there is not enough data' to say RB Ryan Mathews should be the starter

Philadelphia Eagles running back Ryan Mathews stepped in as the primary runner when DeMarco Murray was injured and was far more successful. He led them to their lone win. This obviously caused rumblings that Mathews and not Murray should be the starter. However, head coach Chip Kelly insist there is not enough evidence to lead him to believe Mathews is a better option. There is not enough data," Kelly said, "for you to just say that 'this' is better than 'that' because one of them didn't play in the one game where we had success running the football … I think they're both tough, hard-nosed, physical guys that are going to make one decision on their cut and stick their foot in the ground and go.
