LeSean McCoy: "I want to put the offense on my back"

Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean McCoy has admitted that he wants to carry the team in their most important game of the season on Sunday.

The Eagles can secure a place in the NFC playoffs by winning the East Division if they beat the Chicago Bears and the Dallas Cowboys lose to the Washington Redskins.

McCoy wants to ensure that his side advance to the post-season by adding to his 1,343 yards on the ground and 507 receiving yards along with seven touchdowns.

"This is a big game for us, very big," he told Philadelphia Daily News. "The Cowboys, they'll do what they gotta do, but for us, Philadelphia, we've got to win this game.

"I feel like this game, I want to put the offense on my back. I want to roll. I want to get going.

"I think me and the guys up front, we've got to set the tone. Once we do that, we can worry about the other teams. Right now, the big guys up front and myself, we need to put this game on our back, and take care of business."

The Eagles are 8-6 in their season going into week 16.
