If you’ve tuned into Philadelphia sports talk radio at any point over the past two months you’ve likely heard about the dreary state of the Philadelphia Eagles offense. Under current offensive coordinator Mike Groh, the Eagles have routinely suffered from slow starts and near-constant comeback attempts that fall flat in heartbreaking fashion.
Despite all of this aggravation, Philly has managed to string together two wins in a row heading into their Week 10 bye. The reason for that turnaround is plain as day, and it starts with their running game.
If the Philadelphia Eagles hope to contend for the NFC East crown they will undoubtedly need to rely on the dual-headed rushing attack of Miles Sanders and Jordan Howard.
