Eagles Blow Past the Seahawks

The Eagles dominated the Seahawks in every facet of the football game, defeating them 26-7. Seattle opened up the game with a 90 yard touchdown pass from Seneca Wallace to Koren Robinson. Things continued to look bad for the Eagles, as McNabb started off the game very rusty, resulting in Philadelphia's offense failing to score any points in the first quarter. The momentum quickly shifted for the Eagles, as they scored 14 points in the second quarter and shut the Seahawks at for the rest of the game.

McNabb finished the day 28/43, along with two touchdowns and one interception. McNabb's favorite target comes as a bit of a surprise. The main recepient on the day was not DeSean Jackson, not Kevin Curtis, nor was it Brian Westbrook. Back up tight end Brent Celek was the main target on the day, finishing with six receptions for 131 yards.

The Eagles will now prepare to host the Super Bowl Champions. Keep an eye on tonight's game, as Washington will host the Pittsburgh Steelers. With the Cowboys loosing yesterday, the Eagles are very well in the mix of an intense playoff race. If the Steelers can take care of the Redskins, then the Eagles suddenly can find themselves controlling their own destiny with a win over the Giants. Just food for thought. Fly Eagles, fly!
