. >> for me, there's two very obvious keys to tonight's games for the philadelphia eagles. anything cheap and deep. you watch the arizona cardinals, the way they play with these receivers, michael floyd, john brown. they've gotten so many bombs for touchdowns against pretty much every team. the eagles cannot let them do that. they have to keep everything in front of them, make the arizona cardinals earn it. at the same time, the eagles have to run the ball to win this game. sam bradford going against the honey badger matthew, patrick peterson, he will not throw the eagles to a victory. ryan mathews, darren sproles and yes, even demarco murray have to have one of their best games of the year, that means the offensive line as well. keep the ball out of arizona offense's hands and give bradford a chance by establishing that running game. to me, those are the two clear keys to tonight's game for the eagles. >> reporter: we're back inside the linc. eagles thinking malcolm jenkins will likely be very busy tonight. we'll go back to john clark for more on malcolm. >> reporter: jacki
