Stop the run

A big reason for the Eagles’ recent success has come off the back of rookie running back Miles Sanders, who had 156 total yards and two touchdowns last week.

Sanders only rushed for 45 yards to go along with 24 receiving yards in Week 14 against the Giants. If James Bettcher can find a way to once again neutralize Sanders by loading the box against the run, it will put more pressure on Carson Wentz, who will be without tight end Zach Ertz.
