9 Takeaways From The Thanksgiving Games

We watched football. We ate. And now it's time to digest it all. Sam Spiegelman lists his 9 biggest takeaways from the Thanksgiving Day NFL games.

4. Shady McCoy and the Eagles are back to their bread and butter

The Eagles have strayed away from their rushing offense quite a bit this season, but perhaps because Mark Sanchez is under center Chip Kelly has reverted to his bread and butter. The Eagles rushed for a season-high 256 yards, which is the most allowed by Dallas this season.

LeSean McCoy, who hasn’t been as dynamic as he was a season ago in his first season in the Kelly offense, led the Eagles with 159 yards on the ground, including a touchdown, which marked the first time he’s scored in consecutive games since 2011, per ESPN Stats & Information.
