The Eagles looked ok winning their game Friday over the Steelers.  Donovan McNabb looked good completing 7 of 9 passes for 79 yards.  Koy Detmer followed and completed 4 of 8 passes for 32 yards.  Jeff Garcia finished up and looked good.  Garcia completed 6 of 12 passes for 110 yards and a TD.

Running back Correll Buckhalter had a good game, which was great to see.  Buckhalter ran for 31 yards on 7 carries (4.4 ypc) and caught 4 passes for 16 yards.

WR Greg Lewis had a good game and solidified his spot on the Eagles roster as he caught 2 passes for 91 yards and a TD.

The Eagles defense was just ok despite only allowing 7 points.  The Eagles gave up 108 yards rushing on 3.6 yards per carry against the Steelers.  The Steelers completed 65.9% of their passes for 205 net yards.

Overall, a very satisfying win for the Eagles.
