Eagles embarrass Redskins
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 17 - 11 - 2010

LANDOVER, Maryland: The Philadelphia Eagles led 28-0 after one quarter – the biggest such lead for a road team in the past 60 years – and went on the demolish the Washington Redskins 59-28 in the NFL Monday.
The Eagles also set team records for the most yards in a game (592) and points in a half (45) as Michael Vick outshone opposing quarterback Donovan McNabb on a night the former Eagle was supposed to shine after having inked a $78 million contract extension.
Philadelphia scored on an 88-yard pass from Vick to DeSean Jackson on the first play from scrimmage, led 35-0 after the first play of the second quarter and barely let up.
Vick completed his first 10 passes and finished 20 for 28 for 333 yards with four touchdowns. He also ran eight times for 80 yards and two scores, moving past Steve Young and into second place in NFL history for yards rushing by a quarterback.
He became the first player in NFL history with at least 300 yards passing, 50 yards rushing, four passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns in a game. He hasn't thrown an interception or lost a fumble this season.
The win moved Philadelphia into a first-place tie with the New York Giants in the National Conference East division, with both teams two games ahead of the Redskins (4-5). The Eagles are 4-0 when Vick starts and finishes the game.
A few hours before kickoff, the Redskins signed McNabb to a five-year, $78 million contract extension with $40 million guaranteed, putting to rest any doubts as to whether he would remain the centerpiece of coach Mike Shanahan's rebuilding effort. It was Washington's first game since Shanahan benched McNabb in the final two minutes of a loss to the Detroit, when the coach cited McNabb's less-than-full grasp of the two-minute offense and later the quarterback's lack of “cardiovascular endurance” stemming from sore hamstrings.
McNabb received a standing ovation and applauded the fans in return when he was introduced with the starting lineups, but most of those fans had left by halftime on a rainy night in which they heartily booed offense and defense alike.
