Well after three straight games of loses, two in the final seconds of the games, the Eagles come away with a win It was nice to see the offense put some big numbers on the board today, Donte Stallworth, 6 catches for 139 yards, including a beautiful 84 yard TD. Brian Westbrook had a great game today as well, 22 carries for 113 yards on the ground, and 3 catches for 37 yards.
The Eagles dominated the Redskins this whole game, the defense played a great game, even though they did not sack Mark Brunell, they were in his face a lot. Only one dumb penalty today, which is a lot better than the last few games.
McNabb had an okay game, 12/26 for 222 yards and 1 touchdown.
The second half of this game was pretty boring, but the Eagles were able to hold the Redskins scoreless, which is a plus, since the Eagles have had a tendency to fall apart in the second half of late.
Best play of the game was the 37 yard fumble recovery by Correll Buckhalter. It was a pass to Reggie Brown that bounced right into the hands of Buckhalter who took it in for the score. Definitely one that needs to be seen to truly appreciated.
My game ball goes to Donte Stallworth, after missing three games earlier this year, he has really stepped it up. His 84 yard touchdown was an amazing catch and run, there was no Redskin withing 10 yards of him.
The clock management in the fourth quarter was perfect, grinding out the yards on the ground, instead of risky pass plays was a good decision by Coach Reid, especially given the lousy weather we had today in Philly
Next up the Tennessee Titans here in Philadelphia next week.
Keep up the good work guys.
