The Eagles rotated Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles in the backfield yesterday.
Mathews took the majority of carries (11 for 42 yards; 3.8 average), but Sproles was the most efficient runner (5 for 45).
Mathews made a crucial mistake, carrying the ball in his inside arm on the fumble (the Eagles’ first turnover of the season). A veteran should know better.
