Week 2: vs. San Francisco 49ers
Wow what a game on Sunday! The Eagles destroyed the 49ers 42 – 3 at the first home game of the season at the Lincoln Financial. The team that we all know and love as Philadelphia fans was back up to speed! Donavan McNabb, still a little sore from last Monday night’s injury, was able to show off his skills. He tied his career best of throwing 5 touchdown passes in a game (he did this last Dec. 5 in a victory over the Green Bay).The 49ers did not stand a chance, within a minute of the first quarter the McNabb and Owens duo were back in full effect. McNabb threw a pass to Owens, who ran the ball 68 yards to make the first touchdown of the game. They even shared a high five after! L.J. mith caught a career-best nine passes for 119 yards and also one 6 yard touchdown in the first quarter.
The second quarter was just as exciting with McNabb’s 42 yard touchdown pass to TO making the game 21-0. That catch put TO over his 10,000 receiving yards – he is the 22nd NFL player in history to reach that rank! Westbrook also made a touchdown in the second quarter leaving the score at 28-0 at the end of the first half. During the 2nd quarter kicker, David Akers suffered an injury and Mark Simoneau filled in to complete Westbrook’s touchdown.
In the second half, the Eagles continued to defeat the San 49ers, giving them only a chance to score a 3 point field goal during the third quarter. The Eagles finished up the game with another touchdown by Greg Lewis. With an ending score of 42-3! The 49ers fully admit they did not play up to par and there are no excuses.
Eagles keep up the good work! Next weeks game is at the Lincoln against the already 0-2 Oakland Raiders.

David Akers is the man!!! I can not believe that he just kicked the game winning field goal when he can barely stand up. I think that just puts into perspective that even though there may be some players on the Eagles that don't really care about other players on the team, there are some players, like Akers, that want the best for their teammates, even if it means getting injured. I really hope that he will be able to play for the rest of the season. Even if that means giving him a few weeks off for him to recover.
