"This "mirror, mirror" matchup Sunday of 4-8 teams that didn't expect to be right here, right now might turn on which running back multitasks the best.

Here's Philadelphia with the ball … handoff to LeSean McCoy, averaging 5.3 yards a pop among his 1,134 yards, only 3 yards from the NFL rushing lead. Get the Eagles to third down? Watch for the check-down pass to McCoy or McCoy catching the Eagles' vaunted screen pass, a bread-and-butter play throughout the Andy Reid era.

You know the Dolphins offense. There's Reggie Bush going off tackle, adding to his career-high rushing total of 667 yards. Second down might find Bush lined up out wide. He does have 35 catches, already halting his career-long trend of diminishing reception totals. On third down, Bush might be lined up wide again, but might come in motion for that end-around-like sweep that's blocked similarly to a USC power sweep on which Bush looks like a Heisman Trophy-winning USC tailback. Which he was.

McCoy has accounted for 1,411 rushing and receiving yards, which is 28.5 percent of Philadelphia's total offense. His 15 touchdowns lead the league."
