Here are some keys for the Chargers to pull off this victory against the Philadelphia Eagles. Not many people are giving us a chance to win this game, but we definitely can make some things happen. It will be a tough task, but we have to erase last week from memory and keep pushing forward.

Wrap up

Philadelphia Eagles RB Lesean McCoy is a shifty back and will make some defenders miss. The Chargers defense needs to make sure to bring down McCoy when they get to him. If he breaks free, he will be running for a long gain. Need to contain McCoy and that Eagles running game.

Backside Pursuit

McCoy makes plays happen out of nothing. If the play is going in one direction, McCoy could eventually come back the other way and the defenders need to continue their pursuit to the football. If they let up a little, he will take advantage and go a long way.
