Good coaches make adjustments when mistakes are made, and one week after D’Andre Swift saw 18 total snaps and zero carries, the former St. Joe’s Prep star logged a career-high 175 yards and one touchdown in a 34-28 Eagles win over the Vikings on Thursday night.
With Kenneth Gainwell out with a rib injury, Swift carried the football 28 times, added three catches, and helped the Eagles dominate time of possession on a night when the offense wasn’t constantly clicking.

D'Andre Swift had a career-high 175 rushing yards, the most by an Eagles player in a single game since LeSean McCoy had a franchise-record 217 in Week 14 of the 2013 season.https://t.co/eOpiXEqe9m

Swift put in work tonight for sure and is very talented, but joining an offensive line with two Hall of Fame OL, two pro bowl OL, a rushing QB and two elite WR’s to keep boxes light will showcase a lot of guys.
Said Swift would smash his ADP and that’s a lot of the reason why. https://t.co/zxjyx5DAeF
