Sanders had a huge kickoff return in this game to give the entire team a spark (I'll break that play down next week), but this run play was outstanding as well. Not only did Sanders trust the run scheme and hit the hole hard on this play, but the blocking was perfectly executed up front. This "wham" concept is one of my favorite plays in all of football, and the key to it all is the block from Goedert, who erases the defensive tackle on that side, Dean Lowry.

By using a tight end to block a defensive tackle, the Eagles are now able to get a mismatch at the second level with Isaac Seumalo up on the linebacker. Jason Peters releases immediately up to the safety. Ertz washes out the outside linebacker. Look at the crease that opens up just as Sanders is getting the handoff from Wentz! This is a thing of beauty, and it turned into a huge gain for the Eagles on a drive-opening play that resulted in points.

I can't say enough how important this win was for the Eagles, and it was a great way to go into a short break before preparing for the New York Jets (who are coming off their actual bye week) next Sunday. We'll start our breakdowns for that matchup next week.
