The Eagles keep rolling. With a 35-15 win over the Lions. They
put a hurt on them. Managing to sack Harrington 2.5 times and
forcing 3 turnovers. The defense was on fire today and there was
no stopping them today. The offense also showed their muscles as
well. Getting 405 total yards on the day. McNabb had a good game
going 16-24 with 326 yards passing and 2 touchdowns. He threw to
6 different receivers today. T.O. being his favorite target.
Connceting with him for 7 grabs for 132 yards and a touchdown.
Owens unfortunately left the game early in the 2nd quarter with
back spasms. McNabb had to look for help elsewhere today. L.J.
Smith was able to help out in a big way. Having 2 receptions for
81 yards and a touchdown. Todd Pinkston tired to help but he
wasn't acting like a number 2 receiver. Only having 2 receptions
for 41 yards. Westbrook did what he could but he didn't have a
normal game for himself. He rushed 14 times for only 65 yards.
But in the red zone he made up for it. Scoring 2 rushing
touchdowns though. He had a couple of catches but nothing like
he normal does. The offense wasn't the story of the day it was
the defense and their secondary. They were on fire today,
getting 3, interceptions on Harrington. Rushing him and getting
2.5 sacks on him. They forced him to think on his feet and hold
the ball too long and the secondary took advantage. Dawkins ,
Ware and interception leader on the team with 3 Lewis all got a
pick today. Matt Ware was able to get his first career
interception today as well. Dawkins had a good game with a pick
and 6 tackles. He was all over the field today. He wasnt the
only one that had a good day. Nate Wayne had a good game. He had
5 tackles and a sack. Wayne has had a good year so far with 10
tackles and 2 sacks. He is tied for 2nd on the team with both
tackles and sacks. The defense gave up 352 yard total. 256 yards
passing and 96 yards rushing. I will say the one thing that
wasn't great for them was their 4th down conversion. The Lions
we're 100% on converting them. The Lions we're 25% on 3rd down
but when they went for it they got it every time. But when you
hold them to only 15 points you can't complain. They allowed
them to get to the red zone once and they left with a field
goal. One touchdown and one other field goal. The Eagles will be
in Chicago next week and will have to win without their leading
receiver Terrell Owens who will be out.
