PHILADELPHIA -- Once LeSean McCoy put his head down and ran straight ahead instead of juking and jiving, no one could stop him. McCoy ran for a franchise-best 217 yards, including touchdowns of 57 and 40 yards, and the Philadelphia Eagles overcame two TD returns by Jeremy Ross to beat the Detroit Lions 34-20 in a blizzard Sunday. "It was tough, to be honest," McCoy said. "But the guys were giving me so much room. I actually like to run in between the tackles." Ross returned a punt 58 yards for a score and ran a kickoff 98 yards. But McCoy ran 57 yards up the middle for a tying TD, and Nick Foles connected with Riley Cooper on the 2-point conversion. Foles sneaked in from the 1 and Chris Polk had a 38-yard touchdown run to cap a 28-point fourth quarter for the Eagles (8-5). Snow began falling two hours before kickoff and intensified after the game started. Workers used shovels and hand-held blowers to clear off yard lines. Conditions were so poor neither team tried a field goal, and there were 2-point conversion attempts after seven of the eight TDs. "We just felt footing was so bad," Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. The Eagles, looking to go worst-to-first in the NFC East, won their fifth straight game and took over sole possession of first place. Dallas can make it a tie for the top spot with a victory at Chicago on Monday night. The Lions (7-6) have a half-game lead over the Bears in the NFC North. Forecasters predicted only some snow, so neither team was prepared for a storm that dropped up to six inches in Philadelphia. The Lions lost running back Reggie Bush when he fell on the slippery field during warmups and re-injured his calf. Matthew Stafford fumbled three snaps in the first quarter and had a costly turnover in the fourth. Joique Bell lost two fumbles inside the red zone in the first half. "Its not the same as a sunny day, thats for sure. But youve got to make adjustments," Stafford said. McCoy ran for 148 yards in the fourth quarter, and broke Hall of Famer Steve Van Burens mark of 205 yards rushing against Pittsburgh on Nov. 27, 1949. "He was dominant," McCoy said. "It means a lot." The Eagles finished with 299 yards rushing against a defence that didnt allow a TD on the ground in the previous eight games and came in allowing the third-fewest yards rushing per game (82.7). "The first half we stopped the inside run and forced them to go sideways. In the second half, we allowed them to run inside and that was the difference," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. "Just about all those runs started off inside, even though some of them broke off outside." Foles threw his first interception, leaving him one shy of matching Peyton Mannings record for most touchdowns without a pick to start the season. Foles had 19 touchdowns before Chris Houston grabbed his overthrown pass at midfield and returned it 20 yards to the Eagles 30. That ended Foles franchise-best streak of 237 passes without a pick. He finished 11 of 22 for 179 yards and a TD. "You were seeing a lot of white, a lot of snow falling down," Foles said. "We got more comfortable as the game went on." Bell ran in from the 2 and caught Staffords pass on the 2 -point conversion for an 8-0 halftime lead. After the Eagles rallied from a 14-0 deficit to tie it, Ross took the ensuing kickoff the distance. Ross ran into a crowd, came out of the pile and sprinted down the right sideline to the end zone. Foles connected for 44 yards to Cooper, who made a twisting over-the-shoulder catch, one play before hitting DeSean Jackson in the back of the end zone for a 19-yard TD that cut it to 14-6. Detroit star Calvin Johnson passed Herman Moore for most yards receiving in franchise history on a 33-yard catch to the Eagles 13 late in the first quarter. Johnson came up with a face full of snow on the play. But Bell fumbled a few plays later at the Eagles 10 and Patrick Chung recovered. Foles connected with Brent Celek for what wouldve been a 37-yard TD pass in the final minutes, but Celek slid at the 10-yard line so the Eagles could run out the clock. NOTES: Johnson had three catches for 49 yards. ... Stafford was 10 of 25 for 148 yards. ... The Lions fumbled seven times, losing three. The Eagles fumbled only once and recovered it. ... Neither QB was sacked. Cheap MLB Jerseys . Off-Season Game Plan looks at what Jarmo Kekalainen may do in his first offseason. What is imperative, in evaluating the status of the franchise, is not to have inflated expectations based on goaltender Sergei Bobrovskys 2013 phenomenal season. cheap nfl jerseys http://www.wholesalemlbcheapjerseys.com/Mlb-Jerseys-Qf-25_Lo s-Angeles-Angels-Jersey-Fx-72/ . Seabrook said that he did not want to go inside to a quiet room to be assessed, but that his trainers forced him to follow the NHLs new mandate. The protocol was not initiated after the first hit by Torres, even though Seabrook stayed down on the ice for a few seconds. The NHL believes the case was handled appropriately since Seabrook showed no visible disorientation at the time and had no trouble getting to his feet after the Torres hit.

The Kings peppered goalie Roberto Luongo early in the first period and scored a couple of shootout goals to earn a 3-2 win over the Vancouver Canucks. cheap jerseys from china .C. -- Even without captain Ryan Callahan, the New York Rangers kept rolling along.TORONTO – Ron Wilsons defence of Tim Connolly on Friday afternoon concluded with perhaps the most pertinent point in why the 30-year-old centre has been relegated a third-line role for the most part this season. "Tyler Bozak continues to improve as a player," Wilson said. The 25-year-old snatched hold of the top-line centre job in training camp – after Connolly suffered a suspected shoulder injury, missing the first eight regular season games – and has yet to really let go. Riding shotgun with Phil Kessel and Joffrey Lupul, Bozak has already set new career-highs in assists (22) and points (34), well on his way to posting a new mark in the goal department as well; he has 12 thus far, three off the 15 he had last year. Hes also up to a plus-7 rating this season, dramatically improved from the minus-29 mark of a year ago. The Leafs inked Connolly to fill the void between Kessel and Lupul this past summer – two years at $9.5 million – but Bozak has simply been the better fit, demonstrating greater comfort in the role from a year prior. Connolly has posted nine points in 13 games when paired with Kessel and Lupul, most recently in early January with Bozak sidelined. The trio showed some initial sparks together, but eventually drew cold, leading Wilson to re-insert Bozak upon his return from injury. Connolly hasnt scored since January 5 – when he was paired with Kessel and Lupul – a stretch of 15 consecutive games without a goal. "Lots of players go through little dry spells like this," Wilson said, noting Connollys impact on the improved penalty kill. "We around him – his linemates – have to do maybe a little bit better job of pushing the pace a little bit and finishing off the chances. Hes sent in a lot of guys in on good scoring opportunities and we havent buried our chances so Im not really worried about Timmy at all." Five Points 1. The Leafs spent a good chunk of Fridays practice at Mastercard Centre working to remedy their powerplay, which has just five goals in the last 39 opportunities (13%). The unit remains amongst the best in the NHL – 5th entering Fridays action – but has stumbled over the past 13 games. Wilson related at least a portion of the struggles to the recent decline in opportunities. "Theyre calling fewer and fewer [penalties]," he explained. "A lot of times youre only getting one, two or three powerplays and thats hard to find a rhythm. And then theres games you go without a powerplay, theres no rhythm to it." 2. John-Michael Liles return has helped to stabilize things somewhat – the powerplay is 3-15 in five games since his return from a neck injury – but at critical points in the past two games, the unit has come up empty, includiing a golden chance with two minutes left in Philadelphia and the Leafs down a goal.dddddddddddd "When we start weve got to be aggressive and attack the net," Wilson said. "Some nights we do, some nights we dont. [Thursday] night our entries into the zone werent very good and when we did have good entries…we scored; we had a great entry into the zone, we set up, and we got the puck to the middle and pounded a point shot and had traffic in front." Bozak scored the aforementioned goal in the loss to the Flyers, burying a Dion Phaneuf rebound past Sergei Bobrosky. "At this point in the season when everybodys pretty much nailed down their penalty killing youve got to go to basics on the powerplay which is pounding the puck from the point," Wilson concluded. The Leaf penalty-kill meanwhile, remains perfect in the New Year, 17 consecutive games without allowing a powerplay goal. 3. Jake Gardiner has posted two goals, seven points and a plus-9 rating since returning from a four-game recharge in the press-box last month. "They saw me getting a little tired out there so they thought itd be good for me to take the time off," Gardiner told TSN.ca on Friday. "I wasnt really playing that well either so I kind of understood it." Gardiner has been on the attack with greater frequency over the past month, utilizing his effortless skating ability to join the rush. "I think hes just starting to show more results when he is jumping into the play," Wilson noted. "Hes putting a few more shots on goal and hes got a little bit more experience so his poise has improved over the last month or six weeks or so." 4. Darryl Boyce is likely to check back into the Leaf lineup against the Canadiens, his first action since January 14 (back injury). The Leafs should benefit from the consistent second effort the Prince Edward Island native brings, both to the fourth line and penalty kill. 5. The Leafs will stick with James Reimer between the pipes on Saturday, following a 35-save performance in a loss to the Flyers on Thursday. A rotation between Reimer and Jonas Gustavsson has not been clearly defined as of yet, but its evident that Wilson and the Leafs are looking to Reimer to seize hold of the number one job. The 23-year-old spent a great deal of Fridays practice working with goalie coach Francois Allaire. "We worked on a couple things today that I didnt do well [Thursday] or that Frankie thought that I could improve on," Reimer said. In 12 starts at home, Reimer has posted an 8-1-3 record with a 2.21 goals against average and .924 save percentage. He shutout the Canadiens on opening night at the ACC, departing a start in Montreal – following a collision with Brian Gionta – a few weeks later. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
