The third and final game of the day was another blowout featuring plenty of scoring, with the Eagles topping the Cardinals 48-20.
Many of Philadelphia's questions were answered with two players that were struggling, Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook, having very good days. Westbrook, who hasn't been himself this season because of injuries, got four total touchdowns, two on the ground and two from McNabb. McNabb was absolutely outstanding, not turning the ball over, throwing for a lot of yardage and four touchdowns, and even showing off his speed again. He definitely bought himself some more time as the starting quarterback; maybe last week's benching got him motivated to remain in place. Arizona had no answer for the Eagles' offense, as they weren't getting any pressure on McNabb and not playing aggressive enough.
Arizona wasn't as good as usual on offense, mostly because of bad games from Kurt Warner and Anquan Boldin. Warner had as many picks as he did touchdowns, three, because of pretty solid pressure and inaccurate throws all game. Many went high, including his first two interceptions. Boldin dropped two passes, was unspectacuar in the passing game, and fumbled the ball after a first-down catch in the fourth quarterback, eliminating a possible comback from his team. Defensive Coordinator Jimmy Johnson had a good plan in mind to stop Warner and the Cardinals' offense, which had been great up to this point. When you turn the ball over four times and only get one yourself, you won't win in almost all cases.
With this big win that got the team back on track and their fans back on the bandwagon, the Eagles will go to 6-5-1, still in the playoff hunt. Although it seems very doubtful that they'll be able to make their way into the playoffs, they are a dangerous team and will be playing all teams in their division in the final month, giving them the oppurtunity to sneak their way in. They will certainly have confidence after this one.
