Giant Boost

Don't look now, but the Eagles might be on to something.

9 days after beating the NFC West leading Cardinals, the Eagles continued there winning ways by beating the NFC East leading, Super Bowl defending New York Giants 20 to 14.

The thing most surprising other then the fact that the Eagles won? That the score dosnt even show how dominant the Eagles were. The Giants only scores came on a blocked field goal attempt, and a garbage time touchdown. Other then that, they really never even threatened.

Brian Westbrook had over 100 yards rushing, a 30 yard touchdown run, and a crucial 40 yard touchdown catch that put the game away. Donovan McNabb threw for 1 touchdown, ran for 3 first downs, but most importantly threw zero interceptions.

The Eagles did everything that has plagued them all year- dominated the time of possession, converted on 3rd downs, and ran the ball. They did all of this in a must win game, and now not only are there playoff hopes alive, they are bright.

The Atlanta Falcons lost to the Saints, dropping them to 8-5. The Eagles are now .5 games behind them, and own the tie breaker because of there victory over them earlier this season. If the Dallas Cowboys do their part and lose to the Steelers today, and they would also be 8-5, with the Eagles playing them the last game of the season.

Just like 1 bad game in Baltimore spelled doom for the season, 1 great game in New York has brought the season back to life.
