Green Bay Packers 16, Philadelphia Eagles 13
The Eagles probably should have won this football game. The special teams of the Eagles handed the Packers 10 points including the game winning field goal and that’s a shame because the defense was awesome. DT Mike Patterson led the Eagles with 10 tackles and a sack. CB Sheldon Brown was also solid with 7 tackles and a interception. DE Trent Cole was also outstanding with 5 tackles and 1.5 sacks. The Eagles stuffed the Packers running game holding them to 46 yards on 17 carries (2.7 ypc). The Packers also completed 23 of 42 passes for 169 yards.
Donovan McNabb looked rusty as he completed 15 of 33 passes for 184 yards with 1 TD pass and 1 interception. RB Brian Westbrook was busy with 20 carries for 85 yards (4.3 ypc) and he also caught 6 passes for 46 yards (7.7 avg). 2nd year WR Jason Avant led Eagles receivers with 54 yards on 3 catches (18.0 avg) with a TD. Kevin Curtis also had a decent game with 2 catches for 53 yards (26.5 avg). The Eagles finished with 103 yards rushing on 29 carries (3.6 ypc) and they also completed 15 of 33 passes for 180 yards.
