-- The University of Pittsburgh product took home NFC Player of the Month for his astounding December, during which he rushed for 598 yards and scored five total touchdowns

-- McCoy captured NFC Offensive Player of the Week honors for his 133-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football.

-- The elusive back set an Eagles single game record by rushing for 217 yards through eight inches of snow against the Detroit Lions. The previously single-game high was 205 yards, set by Steve Van Buren in 1949.

-- He became the third running back in franchise history to have three 1,000 yard seasons, joining Montgomery, Ricky Waters, and Duce Staley.

-- Set an all-time NFL record by recording his seventh-career fourth-quarter touchdown run of at least 40 yards.
