Chip Kelly Comments on DeMarco Murray's Role in Eagles' Offense

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly spoke Monday about the minimal role running back DeMarco Murray played in the team's 35-28 victory over the New England Patriots in Week 13.

"We have to do what's best for the Eagles. We're not trying to win a rushing title," said Kelly, per Paul Domowitch of the Philadelphia Daily News. Kelly added, per Eagles Insider, "We are not trying to win a rushing championship, a passing championship or a receiving championship. We're trying to win games."

Murray logged only eight carries for 24 yards with a long run of 19.
