D’Andre Swift carried the ball 28 times for 175 yards and scored a touchdown while catching all three of his targets for six yards in the Eagles’ Week 2 win over the Vikings.
Playing in his hometown of Philly for the first time in his professional career, Swift, an alum of St. Joe Prep and Georgia, made the most of this opportunity.
He delivered a truly outstanding rushing performance.
This performance was partly due to Kenneth Gainwell’s absence due to a rib injury and Boston Scott’s early exit due to a concussion.
Swift rose to the occasion with a 43-yard run and a game-sealing two-yard touchdown rush with 4:13 remaining.
As such, it’s challenging to deny Swift the role of leading the ground game, especially in a Week 3 matchup against the Buccaneers.
