Saints 27 Eagles 24
It Was Over When....
Deuce Mcallister ran for a Saint's first down on 3rd and 1 from their own 31 yard line with 1:37 remaining in the 4th quarter. After that the Eagles could no longer stop the clock, so the Saints ran it out.
The Game Ball Goes To....
Deuce Mcallister with 21 rushes for 143 yards and 1 spectacular touchdown. He also had 4 catches for 20 yards and another touchdown. Ever since Reggie Bush joined the Saints Mcallister has become the forgotten man on their offense but the Eagles will remember him now for a long time.
The Stat Of The Game Is....
208 as in 208 yards rushing for the Saints on the night. Ever since the Eagles went on the winning streak that got them here it's their running game and run defense which have propelled them. However, neither of those were on display tonight. The Eagles couldn't stop the Saints running back and aside from a few spectacular runs by Brian Westbrook they couldn't consistently get their own running attack going.
The Bottom Line Is....
This game was right there for the taking for the Eagles and they just didn't take it, and basically they let the Saints escape with the win. So what does that mean? Well, the season's over, there is no use crying over missed opportunities and it's time to move on and wait until next season.
