Tonight at 8:30 p.m. ET the Philadelphia Eagles (4-1) will host the New York Giants (3-2) in a highly anticipated NFC East showdown on NBC's Sunday Night Football, which can be live streamed free by clicking this link. Giants fans can catch the radio broadcast on 101.9 WFAN FM, while Eagles fans may do likewise by turning their dials to 1210 WPHT.
The Eagles may be 4-1 heading into tonight's action, but there's been chatter that the gleaming record is hiding major problems. The biggest issue is their banged up offensive line, and it's inability let star running back LeSean McCoy run wild like he did in 2013.
McCoy showed improvement last week, totaling 87 yards, but he needed 24 carries to get there. In 2014 McCoy is averaging just 2.9 yards per carry, and his issues are trickling into the passing game. Nick Foles has eight touchdowns and five interceptions so far this season, which is three more than he threw in all of 2013.
Giants head coach Tom Coughlin isn't paying attention to McCoy's limited production thus far, and will be game planning as if McCoy will be in prime form. "He's dynamic, he's looking for the big play every time he touches the ball, whether it is a screen or a run so he's the player I've always known him to be and he's outstanding," Coughlin said.
The Giants will have a far less dynamic back in their backfield, rookie Andre Williams. He is replacing injured starter Rashad Jennings, and they will need him to be more elusive than he's been so far. Williams has averaged just 3.1 yards per carry this year, but has found the end zone in each of the past two weeks.
"He's a big, physical runner," Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. "I think it's evident, you just watch him in the preseason or watch him when he's at Boston College. He ran for over 2,000 yards last year at BC."
