Eagles Win

20-14, Eagles win over Giants. Despite being a serious underdog, the Eagles came out on a cold Sunday in New Jersey, and gave the Giants a shot in the mouth. The 10 days of rest did wonders for Brian Westbrook, as he looked fresh and explosive. Westbrook was unstoppable, finishing with a 131 rushing yards, 72 receiving yards, and a pair of touchdowns. McNabb was consistent and steady, throwing for 191 yards, completing 19 of 30 passes. McNabb threw one touchdown pass to Westbrook, but the big statistic was that he did not turn the ball over one time in the game.
On the other side of the ball, the Eagles seemed to have an answer for that tremendous running game of the New York Giants. After tormenting the Eagles in the first meeting of the season, the Eagles held New York to only 88 net rushing yards. To be honest, the scoreboard makes the game seem closer than it really was. The Eagles never trailed in the game. As a matter of fact, the Giants blocked an David Akers field goal attempt. David Dockery scooped and scored, returning the blocked kicked 71 yards for a touchdown. This happened at the closing moment of the first half, giving the Giants their only spark for the entire game.
The Eagles didn't only win this game, but they sent a very aggressive message. The Eagles are still in the hunt, hope is still alive. Fly Eagles, fly, to the road of victory.
