'This game is far more than McCoy vs. Kelly, though. It has strong playoff implications for both teams.'

'Right tackle Seantrel Henderson is probable after missing the past two weeks with an illness, but his status as a starter will be a game-time decision. Backup Jordan Mills replaced Henderson last week against Houston and worked with the starting unit during the open portions of practice during the week.'

'Williams will miss his second straight game with a shoulder injury. Williams, with 376 rushing yards and seven total touchdowns this season, is Buffalo's No. 2 running back behind starter LeSean McCoy.'

Wide receiver Chris Hogan (knee), tight end Charles Clay (knee), defensive end Mario Williams (hand), and offensive tackle Seantrel Henderson (illness) are all listed as “probable” for the contest in Philly. Henderson missed last week’s game but practiced this week. Jordan Mills took most of the reps at right tackle with the first-team offense, but if Henderson plays they are both expected to see time.''

'Philadelphia has a committee rushing attack that can roll up a respectable amount of yards too. Buffalo has to have the more productive ground game to not only keep drives alive, but to control the pace of the game and keep the Eagles offense from trying to use tempo to wear out the Bills defense.'

'One, is the camaraderie members of those teams still share. DeHaven, for instance, named his son Scott to honor Norwood, who showed so much class and character in dealing with questions from the media after the infamous miss. And the former James Madison soccer star was rewarded by chants and cheers from a crowd of 30,000 at a downtown rally a few days later.'

'“It’s definitely one of the strengths of my game,” Taylor said of throwing the deep ball. “I think that I’ve shown that I can throw a deep ball, but it’s something to speak for our offense. Big plays are definitely part of our offense and whenever we get a chance to make those plays, we have to be on it.”'

'Kelly said the Eagles dealt McCoy to free up money and sign quarterback Sam Bradford, apologized for how the trade went down and wishes the team would've handled it different. And Kelly reiterated he'd shake McCoy's hand on Sunday if McCoy extended his hand.'

'"I'm just trying to get to that elite category if I'm not already there," Watkins said. "Just trying to play my game and every week impose my will on the opposing secondary. Just keep playing hard. I think I'm finishing blocks. I'm running great routes and just trusting my preparation."'

'"Obviously it's hard," Murray said. "I've never been in this situation before. You kind of deal with it as best you can. But every guy in this locker room wants the ball. It's not just me. Everybody wants the football, everybody wants to make plays. The biggest thing for me is that I want to contribute to this team and I feel like I can be a big piece of that. Obviously we won the game so I was extremely happy about that but you always want to contribute in any way, whether it's passing the ball, blocking, whatever the case may be."'

'“They were feeling my left side and I said I couldn't feel that,” he recalled Thursday of his initial injury. “They just told me don't move. Next thing I know I was on a stretcher.”'

'"If you prepare, that's when you make plays because you know what's coming and you know how to line people up and get yourself lined up," Rambo said. "'Preparation meets opportunity' and that's one thing I always carry with me."'

'"You never know if it's going to be your last game or not," Williams said. "I'm not really thinking of my health in the future. I always think in the moment. Told myself 'Suck it up, you've been hurt before, you've played hurt before. Give everything you have.'Unfortunately I had to go on and off the field a few plays. Some of the hits did hurt to where I was in serious pain, but the guys let me come on the sideline and take a couple plays off. I had to pass a lot of tests, so for me to go back there I had to really make sure I was ok and I passed the tests, went back out there and finish the game."'

'"Aaron won't play this week," Ryan said. "He will continue to condition, he won't be on the practice field running with the pads on, everything. We like where he is at. Hopefully at the end of the year we will be able to use him, and he will be able to play for us. But we are not going to put him out there till we know, and our trainers are on top of it. He has been working out with our strength coaches, and conditions and all that as well. So we will see how it fairs out late in the season. But don't expect him to play this week, he won't play this week."'
