Miles Sanders entered Sunday’s matchup against the Bears with over 200 carries and 1,046 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns.
On Sunday at Soldier Field, the NFL’s fifth-leading rusher went almost thirty minutes without a carry, as Chicago dominated time of possession and Philadelphia focused on the deep passing game.
This same exact scenario took place last season in the Week 6 loss to Tampa Bay.
The Eagles trail 6-3 late in the second quarter, and Justin Fields has 82 rushing yards on nine carries.
Social media reacts to everything, and Sanders’s usage rate was the trending topic.
