Brian Westbrook looked great today for the Eagles, rushing for 131 yards and a TD with 72 receiving yards and another TD. McNabb threw for 191 yards and 1 TD, while L.J Smith had a season high 6 receptions. The Eagles held the Giants to 211 total yards, and stopping the Giants 3 times on 4th down. The Eagles converted 67% of the their 3rd down situations, while the Giants only completed 27% of their 3rd down chances. The Giants only had possession once in the 3rd quarter, as the Eagles totaled 34:54 in time of possession.

The Giants ( 11-2) can still clinch the division today if the Cowboys lose to the Steelers. The Eagles ( 7-5-1) still have a chance at a wild card spot.

Donovan McNabb may have trouble sleeping tonight. An awful game for him, throwing for only 59 yards with 2 interceptions and 1 fumble. McNabb was benched at halftime for Kevin Kolb , who only threw for 73 yards and he also threw 2 picks. Westbrook was shut down today, rushing for 39 yards while playing with multiple injuries. The only TD for the Eagles was a 100 yard kick return fro rookie Quentin Demps. For the Ravens, it was the old time defense today. Ed Reed had 2 interceptions, including an NFL record 108 yard TD. The defensive line applied pressure all day and Ray Lewis played a great game. The rookie sensation Bazooka Joe, Joe Cool, Wacko Flacco, whatever you may call him had a phenomenal day. Throwing for 183 yards with 2 TD's against a solid defense. The Ravens face the Cincinatti Bengals next week, while the Eagles play on Thanksgiving against the Arizona Cardinals.

1) The Giants' ground game is unstoppable - The Ravens have one of the most elite defenses in the league, especially against the run. They have not allowed one individual to rush for over 100 yards in the last 29 games. However, The New York Giants came into the game and rushed for a team total of 207 yards and two touchdowns. Brandon Jacobs embarrassed the Ravens the way he was bulldozing over what seemed like the entire Ravens team.2) The Eagles team, coaches, and management are idiots - McNabb stated " I didn't think there were ties in the NFL". Are you kidding me? He is the leader of this team and should have been aware of the situation. It was a disgrace.

3) Favre is exactly what the Jets needed to succeed - Brett proved that his leadership can carry the Jets right into the playoffs on Thursday against the New England Patriots. He threw for 258 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. This win was huge for the Jets as they are on a mission to end the Patriots dominance of the AFC east.

4) The Lions really are that bad - 0-10. That pretty much speaks for its self. The Panthers ran all over them with a combined team rushing total of 264, a team record. However, there is hope for the Lions. The hope that their young talent like WR Calvin Johnson, rookie RB Kevin Smith, and LB Ernie Sims will someday rejuvenate this team.

5) On the flip side, the Titans really are that good - They are the whole package. They have a defense that terrifies opposing offenses, a running game led by Chris Johnson and Lendale White that can devastate any defense in the league and a passing game that can take over if the run fails. What more could you ask for?
