LeSean McCoy had a slow start to this season, and had to watch Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray become the darling of the league as he sprinted out towards a rushing title.
McCoy has caught fire as of late, and made it clear to the media after the Eagles 33-10 win, that he had every intention of outrushing Murray on national television.
“Obviously, I wanted to out-rush him,” McCoy said with a smile, per CSN Philly. “It’s a pride thing.”
McCoy finished with 159 yards on 25 carries, more than doubling Murray’s 73 yards on 20 totes.
“Overall, I wanted to win the game,” McCoy said. “And if it happened the other way around where he had more yards than me and we won the game, that’s cool too.”
