But it was nice to see Morris get that last drive going with some good cut back runs. That last drive the Eagles D looked tired.

Leading up to that last drive, the previous Gruden called plays were 5 straight passes which lead us off the field with zero points. Yes it comes a time where a QB will have to make a play; you know its the NFL, but we cannot afford to abandon with run. I thought we ran the ball against a stout run defense just fine. Look 125 yards rushing for a game is a success.
The reason the Eagles defense looked tired was us controling the clock running the ball.
I thought Jay had his best game yesterday. Maybe so far in his tenure. Loved the boots and taking shots down the field. I thought the draw on 3rd and long shows growth. Stuck with the run. I saw good reads by Kirk and Gruden gave him easy throws. Getting Crowder involved in the passing game was maybe the best call by Gruden this year. Garcon/Crowder were a solid combo.
I really hope Desean can get his ass back on the field soon.
