Many Philadelphia Eagles fans were upset when they let homegrown running back Miles Sanders leave town, but the recent success of Saquon Barkley showed that Sanders' high-end production was the result of the Eagles' friendly offensive scheme and dominant offensive line.
After an ill-fated stint with the Carolina Panthers, the Dallas Cowboys brought Sanders in with the goal of building a deeper backfield that can punch back against teams like Philadelphia. The early returns on the Sanders signing have been subpar, as he may have helped the Eagles turn the tide of their season-opening duel.
Sanders broke off a 49-yard run that brought Dallas down to the Philadelphia 11-yard line.
