LeSean McCoy has said that he is prepared to lead the Philadelphia Eagles team to victory over the Chicago Bears this weekend.

Running back McCoy is the league's lead rusher with 1,343 yards to his name so far this season, while the Bears defense is ranked 32nd in the NFL against the run.

With that in mind, McCoy has claimed it will be up to him to secure the win and strengthen the team's chances of reaching the playoffs.

McCoy told reporters: "Watching tape, a lot of guys are gashing the Bears. Running the ball definitely will be big for this game.

"I've got to put the offense on my back. I want to roll. I want to get going. I think me and the guys up front, we've got to set the tone. I just feel like the big guys up front and myself that we need to put the game on our backs and take care of business."

The Eagles are currently just a win clear of the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East, with the two rivals set to meet each other in the season's final game in a potential playoff decider.
