Following Reggie Bush’s touchdown, the Eagles marched right down the field using a bunch of creative plays as well as some deft running and throwing by Jeff Garcia. With all of that it looks as if the slugfest that was advertised is on.

Brian Westbrook dropped a sure-bet TD pass on a well-established screen pass, but gave the Birds the 14-13 lead when he dived in from a yard or two out. More telling than Westbrook recovering from the drop to score was that it took the Eagles 11 plays and 4:39 to go 80 yards for the go-ahead touchdown.

Try this – the Eagles lead the game despite being out-rushed 97-14.
