PHILADELPHIA -- Observed and heard in the locker room after the Philadelphia Eagles' 43-24 victory over Tennessee:

Peeking ahead: Eagles head coach Chip Kelly and some of his staff came to the NovaCare Complex on Saturday to start planning for Thursday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. That’s less a case of looking past the Tennessee Titans than it is making up for a deficit of preparation time. The coaches returned to the facility Sunday night and will install game plans for the Dallas game on Monday. “We’ll put our game plan together for Dallas and we’ll start training tomorrow,” Kelly said.

Sunny Shady: Running back LeSean McCoy was dancing in the end zone after his 2-yard touchdown run. McCoy, who has been frustrated throughout this season, ran 21 times for 130 yards against the Titans. He was back to his normal, cheerful self. “We just stuck to it,” McCoy said of the running game. “If the run game’s not going, I’ll take the blame. Whatever.”

Required viewing: Kelly said he hoped his players would be going home while the coaches were working on a game plan Sunday night. With the Dallas Cowboys playing the New York Giants on Sunday night, it sounded like most players would be tuning in to that NFC East matchup. “Oh, yeah,” linebacker Trent Cole said when asked if he would watch it. “I think all of the guys will be watching it. I know I certainly will.”

Next man up: Eagles first-round pick Marcus Smith has not played much in his rookie season. He may be pressed into action on Thanksgiving Day against the Cowboys. Inside linebacker Emmanuel Acho, part of the platoon that replaced defensive captain DeMeco Ryans, left the game with a groin injury. Will Smith be ready? “He’ll have to be,” defensive coordinator Bill Davis said. “Absolutely,” Smith said.
