Miles Sanders is having a solid rookie season with the Philadelphia Eagles, and he was key once again in the win over the Dallas Cowboys.

During Sunday’s game, Sanders was Philadelphia’s leading rusher. He was also incredibly effective in the passing game, finishing second on the Eagles with 77 yards receiving.

In total, Sanders had 156 yards from scrimmage and one of Philadelphia’s two touchdowns in the game. He continues to be a workhorse and provided the game-sealing run in the fourth quarter.

Facing a third-and-two with a minute left in the game, Sanders burst into the clear and down the sideline. He had a clear path to the end zone and could have gone the distance for another touchdown. However, he wisely slid to the ground inbounds after a huge gain.

It allowed the Eagles to take a knee and end the game on the next play:

Considering the work of Saquon Barkley for the Giants and Mike Gesicki with the Dolphins, Sunday proved to be a very good day for ex-Nittany Lion stars.
