Didn't we start stopping them when Rankins departed. Seems that way.

Solid rotation.

David O, Tyeler & Stallworth accepted the challenge.

But it still sucks not a having a game changer in Rankins on that line.

Time for the others to prove their worth. They may very well surprise.

Those are 3 very talented guys. But there’s no way they’d see much playing time with a 1st rd pick in Rankins playing lights out this season.
See Hicks.

I saw the same thing. They didn't score after Rankins went down. I'm not saying that is the reason, but that they are perfectly capable of still being dominant with the others in rotation. Sure, we'll miss Rankins, but not as much as some of the talking heads are implying.

Yes, but I’m my eyes he has done more than enough this season for me to write that off as coincidence and solid depth on the team. Rankins has become a player that offenses had to account for. Make no mistake, he will be missed. At this point in the season it’s nice to know we have other relatively fresh players who can hold their own.

The whole team momentum shifted and pretty much took over the game.
Will say that the Eagles have some physical monsters on their lines, this game was no walk in the park.
