The Eagles will have their full compliment of running backs for a game that is likely to feature a heavy run game from the Birds. Tampa Bay's defense is ranked the No. 3 run defense in the NFL however that stat is heavily skewed towards the begining of the year. The Bucs have ranked middle of the pack against the run since week 7.
