Rough Draft

Eagles vs Cowboys

The Eagles lost a somewhat crucial game to the Cowboys last Sunday 23-21. Had the Eagles won they would have been tied for first place in the division with the Cowboys. Instead the Eagles are tied for last, and sub 500 again at 2-3. The game wasn't on here in Cleveland, but I've read a few summaries of the game. Apparently the Eagles started the game with an onside kick, something they did a few years ago on opening day to the Cowboys. That time the Eagles recovered the kick, unfortunately on Sunday, the Cowboys returned the kick for a touchdown. Despite that the Eagles were able to comeback and held a 21-20 lead with less than 2 minutes left. The Cowboys kicked a field goal to make it 23-21, but there was still enough time for the Eagles to come back. Unfortunately, before they got in field goal range McNabb fumbled and the Cowboys recovered the ball. The Eagles are still suffering from a lot of injuries. Even McNabb was playing with a bruised right hand that he got when they played the Bills. The NFC East is still wide open, so it's not over for the Eagles by a long shot. They have another crucial division game against the Giants this coming week. Hopefully the Eagles will be able to start pulling things together and looking like the team that has gone to the NFC championship game the last 2 seasons.
