Eagles 24 Falcons 17
It Was Over When....
Eagles backup QB A . J Feeley fired an 89 yard touchdown pass to Hank Baskett to put the Eagles up by the eventual final score of 24-17 with less than two minutes to play. Of course an eagles goal line stand on the Falcon's next offensive series also helped.
The Game Ball Goes To....
The Eagles offense which racked up 353 total yards and 24 points despite not employing any starters for the majority of the game. A.J Feeley led the way passing for 321 yards and 3 touchdowns, and Hank Baskett also put in his two sense with 7 catches for 177 yards and the aforementioned touchdown.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
0 as in 0 key Eagles lost to injuries on the day. Just the fact that none of the Eagles key players were injured today is big enough to be the stat of the game.
The Bottom Line Is....
Even before the game really got under way the Eagles were given a gift when the Cowboys lost to the Lions, thus clinching the division for the Eagles, and eliminating the need for them win this game in order to do so. Thus, this game pretty much turned into a preseason like game, so the real bottom line is that the Eagles are the 2006 NFC Eastern division champions and they will host the Giants at Lincoln Financial field next week in the wild card round of the playoffs and I just hope they win.
