Rashard Mendenhall looked very good in his first game, considering he had ACL surgery just eight months ago. Mendenhall showed good moves and a quick burst while running for 81 yards on 14 carries against the Eagles, especially on a 13-yard touchdown run with a lateral pbutt. It was a good boost to a running game that struggled in the first three games. But don't expect Mendenhall to become the workhorse back, at least not right away. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley likes to rotate different backs for different situations and will stick with the committee approach for now. Source: Sporting News
