Eagles opposing player to stop, Week 11 edition

The template has been created to beat the Eagles. It was a rather in-your-face, smashmouth introduction on Monday when Washington slammed the Eagles by doubling them on the time of possession (40:24 to 19:36) and pounding them for 152 yards rushing. The last time the Eagles gave up less than 100 yards to an opponent came in their Week 4 29-21 victory over Jacksonville. Since then, opposing teams are averaging 144.4 yards a game on the ground against Philadelphia.

In the last five games, the Eagles have given up 124, 134, 144, 168 and 152 yards.

Now they’re tasked with trying to stop former South Jersey high school star Jonathan Taylor, who just snapped a five-game slump in which he did not rush for over 100 yards by ripping through the Las Vegas Raiders for 147 yards on 22 carries, for a season-high 6.
