During week four earlier this season, Washington defeated Philadelphia 17-12 at Lincoln Financial Field. Former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb received a standing ovation from the Philadelphia crowd prior to kickoff. McNabb also let it be known the Eagles organization made a mistake by trading him in the off season. The Redskins were in first place and at that time there to stay according to McNabb. Two weeks after being benched vs. Detroit, McNabb received a contract extension prior to the Monday Night game versus Philadelphia. Before Washington could get their initial first down in Landover at Fed Ex Field, the Eagles were ahead 35-0. The quarterback McNabb help bring to Philadelphia was Michael Vick. Vick coming off NFC Offensive Player Of The Week honors, after the Eagles defeated the Colts the week prior, may have earned that award once again. During Philadelphia's 59-28 win against Washington, Vick threw for 4 touchdowns and ran for 2 toucdowns. Michael Vick threw for 333 yards and rushed for 80 yards. He threw an 88 yard touchdown to DeSean Jackson during the Eagles first offensive play from scrimmage. McNabb threw for 295 yards 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown. Washington falls to 4-5 and face the Titans next week in Nashville, Philadelphia improves to 6-3 and face the Giants next week at Lincoln Financial Field.
Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles offense had a record setting night in many ways, the team looks to improve during the stretch run of the season.
