Philadelphia Eagles’ Miles Sanders runs the ball during the first half against the Buffalo Bills, Sunday, Oct. 27, 2019, in Orchard Park, N.Y.

Miles Sanders arguably had his best game as a pro Sunday as the Philadelphia Eagles thumped the Buffalo Bills.

Sanders, formerly of Penn State and Woodland Hills, tore off a 65-yard run on the second snap from scrimmage in the third quarter to give the Eagles a 17-7 lead. He finished with three carries for 74 yards and caught 3 passes for 44 yards before leaving the game with an injury.

NFL Natwork’s Ian Rapoport tweeted the rookie will get an MRI on Monday.

“X-rays are cool,” Sanders told the Morning Call. “I don’t know anything else yet. I should be fine, hopefully.”
