Miles Sanders knows his Philadelphia Eagles can maintain a 17-0 perfect record after the Eagles defeated the Houston Texans 29-17 on Thursday Night Football. The former Penn State running back rushed for 93 yards and 1 touchdown on 17 carries.

During his postgame press conference, Sanders had this to say about the win:

“It’s a blessing, it’s not easy in this league. Happy we got 8 out of the way. We’re on to bigger and better things still, but still trying to take it one game at a time. Still got a long season and a division game coming up. So, we’ve gotta stuff we need to focus on more than being 8-0.”

Sanders has rushed for 656 yards and 6 touchdowns on 131 carries in the 8 games he has played for Philadelphia this season.

Philadelphia currently has the 6th ranked rushing offense in the league (148.8 rushing yards per game) and the third-ranked scoring offense (28.1 PPG).

Philadelphia (8-0) will host the Washington Commanders (4-4) next on Nov. 14 on MNF at 8:15 p.m. ET. That game will be shown on ESPN.
