Eagles fans have been begging the Birds to use Jordan Howard more. Each week, we were teased with a preview of what could be with the former Bears running back — but Doug Pederson wouldn’t fully commit to the power back. That was until last week.

Howard was unstoppable in Green Bay. We do have to give credit where it’s due to Miles Sanders, who had a good game on the ground as well. But Howard was great. He scored two touchdowns on the ground with some short, but strong runs. Meanwhile, he flashed his ball-catching skills as well with a catch and run, notching three total touchdowns on the night.

Seeing the Eagles become so successful with Howard leading the backfield, it won’t be surprising to see them continue to utilize the power back moving forward. Last week’s gameplan was flawless by Pederson, and hopefully, we see more of that, along with Jordan Howard this week.
