Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles told reporters earlier this week that he needed more touches on offense. In the Eagles' Week 11 game hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Sproles' request was answered and he delivered.

Sproles is operating as the Eagles' No. 2 running back with Ryan Mathews (concussion) out and he has contributed as both a runner and receiver. He made his biggest mark in the second quarter when he put defenders on skates with his moves during a 35-yard touchdown reception.
