The league's leading rusher LeSean McCoy and the Philadelphia Eagles play host to the New England Patriots. CBS will broadcast the game at 4:15 PM ET. Philadelphia sports a 4-6 overall record and 1-4 home record. New England has a 7-3 overall record and 3-2 away record.

Last week the Eagles took down the Giants 17-10. McCoy ran for 113 yards on 23 carries. DeSean Jackson also had a nice game, reeling in six balls for 88 yards. The Patriots are coming off a 34-3 blowout win over the Chiefs. Kyle Arrington racked up four tackles and two interceptions. Another strong showing came from Rob Gronkowski, who caught four balls for 96 yards and two touchdowns.

Philadelphia should expect to see gains in its passing attack as the Patriots' pass defense is the worst in the NFL, giving up an average of 314.1 yards per game.
