5. Chip Kelly’s Offense Arrives, September 9, 2013

The Situation: After an off-season of mystery and excitement, Kelly unveils his high-powered offense on Monday Night Football, running 50 plays on the Redskins in the first half, racing out to a 26-7 lead. In the third quarter, the Eagles are driving, sitting at the Washington 34.

The Play:

McCoy vs WAS
McCoy vs WAS /

The Result: LeSean McCoy takes advantage of a huge hole, makes a defender look silly and trots into the end zone untouched. The first drive of the game proved what could happen when a defense was not prepared to defend Kelly’s quick-hitting scheme, but this run by Shady sums up everything that made that 2013 team dangerous. Dominant offensive line, deep threats on the outside forcing the safeties to line up off the screen and McCoy cutting through defense like a hot knife through butter.
