Mathews gained 77 yards and scored a touchdown on 22 carries but was not targeted in the passing game in Sunday's 29-10 victory over the Browns.
So far so good for Mathews in his role as the unquestioned workhorse back, as he ran hard and decisively throughout the day and escaped injury-free. He had to work for everything he got Sunday, as his game-long rush went for only seven yards. However, it was certainly an encouraging start for a revamped Eagles offense, as Mathews proved capable of serving as a perfect complement to rookie quarterback Carson Wentz and helped keep the Browns defense honest. He should be primed for abundant opportunity in 2016 provided his health remains intact.
