Eagles Top Bills




It may not have been pretty, but a win is a win. The Eagles squeaked out a season ending victory over the Bills 17-9. They finished 8-8 while the Bills finish 7-9.

Donovan McNabb passed for 345 yards with a TD and an INT. He finished the season with over 3000 yards for the first time since 2004. Brian Westbrook rushed for 42 yards and added 57 yards in receptions. He broke the Eagles record for total yards from scrimmage and total receptions in a season.

Again the defense was solid only allowing three Lindell Field Goals. They held the Bills to 133 yards in the air, but gave up 105 on the ground to Marshawn Lynch.

Brent Celek scored on a pass from McNabb and Kevin Curtis again recovered a fumble in the endzone, this time by Reggie Brown. David Akers added a 38 yard FG to cover the score.

Overall the game showed us what could come of next year. A stout defense and an offense that can move the ball. Only a few tweaks are needed to make this team a contender again.
