Eagles Up-Down Drill

Fletcher Cox UP - If he hasn't already, Cox solidified himself as one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL today with another stellar outing. He set a career mark with 61/2 sacks for the season and was a constant disruptive force up front.

Fletcher Cox

UP - If he hasn't already, Cox solidified himself as one of the best defensive linemen in the NFL today with another stellar outing. He set a career mark with 61/2 sacks for the season and was a constant disruptive force up front.

Sam Bradford

UP - Toss his statistics aside. They didn't represent how well he threw the ball. Bradford was on point most of the game, and if it weren't for more drops from his receivers and a questionable effort by Brent Celek on an interception, he would have had better numbers.

LeSean McCoy

DOWN - He had success in the first half, once gaining 24 yards on a single carry. But McCoy, upon his return to Lincoln Financial Field, was kept in check in the second half, gaining only 11 yards on eight rushes.

Zach Ertz

UP - His catch that set up the winning field goal was clutch. Ertz didn't just settle for converting the third down, though. He broke a tackle and rumbled 41 yards to the Bills 18. Ertz finished with a team-high five catches for 98 yards.

Donnie Jones

UP - It can't be overstated how important Jones was to the Eagles' success. He averaged 50.4 yards and 43.3 yards net on seven punts and flipped the field a few times. A Jones 52-yard boot resulted in a muffed return attempt. And he also fielded a low snap as the holder on a 45-yard field goal before the half.

DeMarco Murray and Ryan Mathews

DOWN - Mathews played the majority of snaps and took the majority of carries among the Eagles' four running backs, but the touches were almost evenly distributed. Neither Murray nor Mathews did much damage on the ground however, averaging 2.9 and 3.1 yards per carry, respectively.

Darren Sproles

UP - Sproles received the third-highest number of rushes, but he made the most of them. He averaged 5.9 yards a tote and scored the Eagles' first touchdown. His 28-yard punt return in the fourth quarter went to waste.

Nelson Agholor

UP - It was an up-and-down day for the rookie receiver, but he deserves kudos for snaring a 53-yard touchdown pass - his first in the NFL. Agholor dropped two third-down passes, though.

Caleb Sturgis

UP - He connected on all three of his field-goal attempts - including the game-winning 30-yarder - and five of his six kickoffs were touchbacks.

Ed Reynolds

UP - He was late to help when Sammy Watkins caught a 47-yard first-quarter touchdown, but Reynolds made two big plays late. He stopped a scrambling Tyrod Taylor after a short gain and later intercepted the quarterback to seal the game.

Eric Rowe

UP - The Eagles have found themselves a legitimate starting cornerback, it appears. The rookie may be reluctant to play man-press, but he never let Watkins or any receiver get behind him.

Byron Maxwell

DOWN - The same can't be said of Maxwell, who was burned by Watkins on the touchdown. Robert Woods - his assignment for most of the game, caught five passes for 106 yards.

Kiko Alonso

DOWN - Alonso took baby steps in his improvement against the run, but he overran his gap and Bills running back Mike Gillislee ran up the middle for a 19-yard score.
