A good win for the Eagles over a tough defensive team. Ricky Bell is a star, Don Cockroft is not.

Philadelphia, like San Francisco, has become one of those environments that breed 1,000-yard rushers. Bell and Mike Hogan are examples on the Eagle roster, and it seems only a matter of time and opportunity before Freeman McNeil joins the grand ranks. Tom Sullivan retired from the Eagles this offseason. When he racked up 968 yards on 4.5 per carry, it qualified as "3rd greatest rushing season in Eagles' history, 1973," says his 1975 card. "He was only back to finish among NFL leaders in both rushing & receiving. Tom was selected NFL Back of Week for 156-effort vs. Giants, he gained over 100 yards 3 times."
