The most efficient rushing offense in the NFL lost its leading rusher in the offseason.
After a career year with the Eagles, Miles Sanders signed a lucrative contract to join the Panthers. But Philadelphia isn’t sweating the loss of Sanders and his team-high 1,269 rushing yards the way another team in its position might. This roster is uniquely configured to shrug off the departure and keep on churning out production on the ground.
The Eagles have the best offensive line in the league, highlighted by a pair of All-Pros: Center Jason Kelce and tackle Lane Johnson. They also employ one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in Jalen Hurts and general manager Howie Roseman acquired two talented backs — D’Andre Swift via trade and Rashaad Penny in free agency — for a fraction of the cost of Sanders’ new deal.
