Eagles deep run game fuels Super Bowl run

Associated Press  

PHOENIX — While the fight song for the Philadelphia Eagles may be “Fly, Eagles Fly,” the offensive formula that carried the team to the Super Bowl was more grounded. “It’s like a boxing match,” running backs coach Jemal Singleton said. That’s part of what we try to do is just stay physical throughout the game.” Few teams have done that as well as the Eagles, who have run the ball on half their offensive plays and averaged 153.9 yards rushing per game, including the playoffs — which would be the highest mark for a Super Bowl champion since the 1998 Denver Broncos. “So they’re going to put matchups on and create matchup problems for the D-line, for linebackers with our schemes and what we do.” While the backs get the majority of the yards on the ground, the threat of Hurts running fuels the run game for the Eagles.
