Rough Draft

Eagles vs Giants

Thank you Brian Westbrook. Thanks to his punt return for a touchdown with under 2 minutes left in the game, the Eagles pulled out a 14-10 victory against the Giants. Westbrook was also responsible for the Eagles' other touchdown. He ran the ball in for a score early in the first quarter. Neither team played a very good game. Once again the Eagles' offense was paltry. McNabb was off (possibly due to his injured thumb) and Eagles' receivers had at least 6 dropped balls. McNabb also got sacked several times and was under pressure from the defense a lot more than usual. At some point late in the 4th quarter Fox showed a stat saying the Eagles hadn't been in the Giants territory since sometime with about 3 minutes left in the first quarter. If Washington loses to Buffalo, the Eagles will be in second place in the NFC East, only behind the 5-1 Cowboys. Hopefully, the late game victory will spark the Eagles and things might *finally* fall into place for their offense. They've played 6 games and none of their wide receivers have a touchdown reception.

One other note, Bobby Taylor played his first game since getting injured in the season opener against Tampa Bay. He played very well, and was responsible for breaking up the Giants pass on 4th down, as they were trying to score the winning touchdown at the end of the game.
