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.
