Portis and the OL did a great job, but I give the game ball to Andre Carter who made play after key play on D.
Totally called it :)

Portis--the key yards, a huge 3rd down pass reception (great hands), and that 4th down to ice it--he CALLED the play (Zorn listened to his suggestion), and then just carried the D past the sticks. No doubt it doesn't happen without great o-line play, but CP was the all-around package today. And he blocked well in pass pro. Awesome.

Portis. He carried the load today. Andre Carter is my runner up. He made a lot of big plays on the defensive side today.
Carter kind of sealed the deal on the that 3rd down play in the 4th quarter. But #26 got my vote!!!

Portis was good but I have to give it to the D. They have been playing lights out since the second half of the Giants game. Just imagine how scary they will be at full strength.

There has to be a whole lot of gameballs today. No one man was able to claim this victory. It was a total team accomplishment. HAIL!!

Portis is an absolute warrior, and I love the fact that the O-line pushed Philly's vaunted D all over the field. I voted Portis, but I would be just as happy with the O-line as MVP of the game.

Going into this game the Eagles led the NFL in sacks, and were also #1 against the run.
They had 1 sack and we had over 200 yards rushing.
So in my mind the offensive line is the unquestioned MVP. I give Portis and the D a tie for second.

The running game as a whole has been outstanding the last two weeks. Beyond Portis and the O-line I think it's really a testament to the following: Zorn sticking with a game plan, Bugel's influence and inspiration, opponents respecting Campbell and the passing game. But I'll throw one more thing out there, and I'm curious what everyone else thinks of it, replacing Byner with Stump Mitchell as running back coach. I love EB as a player, and I'm happy he's enjoying success in Tennessee right now, but I've got no complaints with Stump.
But really, I think the biggest thing is that teams are starting to respect Campbell more and that allows Portis to shine under less pressure.
