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.
