Single Player Performances

Not only was the play calling revised and balanced for once but there were many single player performances that played huge roles in the must win game over Dallas. Heading into Sunday's game Dallas had the number one run defense in the NFL and their defense did not let a single running back rush for more then 100 yards all season. No one thought that LeSean McCoy was going to cut up the Dallas defense as bad as he did. Shady McCoy not only rushed for 100 yards but he also almost doubled it. Shady game on Sunday was one of the best games in his career. LeSean McCoy had 30 carries for 185 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns, and 15 receiving yards. Another member that showed a great performance was quarterback Michael Vick. Struggling with turnovers all season, but with Vick's three step drop and good protection, the Eagles did not turn the ball over once in the game against Dallas. Every single throw from Vick was a perfect bullet pass to all the receivers. Vick threw for 279 yards and two touchdown and he also had 7 carries for 50 rushing yards. With the Eagles two main receiving targets, Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson, covered for most of the game it left other targets open for business. Philadelphia Eagles tight end Brent Celek had another amazing career game on Sunday. Brent Celek had 7 catches for 94 yards and a touchdown. Celek averaged 13.4 yards per catch thanks to his determination and trucking defenders off of him.
