FOES RUNNING UPHILL
Adrian Peterson came into the game as the NFL's leading rusher, but the Eagles held him to just 70 yards. In their seven games so far this season, the defense has allowed the opposition's top runner to average just 65 yards a game. Interestingly, the numbers they've permitted are almost identical to what they yielded last season. Have a look.
