The ghosts of Lambeau Field were no place to be seen except for the weather that was wrought onto both teams. At game time, the thermometer only read 39 degrees. A slight advantage for Green Bay. But it was also raining, not snowing. Big advantage for Donovan McNabb. Why? Because, Brett Favre's broken thumb caused 1 INT and 3 fumbles because the ball kept slipping off the makeshift cast on his thumb. His final stats were not all that impressive either. He completed 14 passes for only 109 yards. His counterpart was not much better except when it mattered most. Donovan McNabb, alias 'Captain Comeback' threw 31 times completing 15. He threw for 198 yards with no INT's and no fumbles. He was only sacked once and threw the game winning TD with only 27 seconds left in the game. Lastly, he also rushed for a TD early in the fourth quarter to give the Eagles a temporary 10-7 lead. On the game winning drive, McNabb took over at the Eagles' 35-yard line with just 2:43 left in the game. He was marvelous as he completed 3 of 4 yards for 37 yards, driving the Birds on 650-yard TD drive in 2:16. He completed the last pass to Todd Pinkston with only 27 seconds left. It was also Pinkston's first TD reception of the year. The result was a 17-14 win over the Green Bay Packers at hallowed Lambeau Field in very undesirable weather conditions. Philadelphia improved to 6-3 and remained 1 game behind the Cowboys, while the Packers fell to 4-5 on the season.

The Eagles won on Monday night football again on the road under coach Andy Reid. He is now 5-1 all-time on Monday Night specials and 11-1 overall in primetime games. The Pack entered the game having an NFL best 23-6 home record over the past 3 ½ years. The lure, the weather and the crowd at Lambeau could not stop the Birds from taking victory from defeat once again. Not even Ahman Green's 192 rushing yards could help Green Bay win a game they had to have. The Eagles rush defense, ranked 8th entering the game, surrendered a total of 241 rushing yards on 32 carries. But the defense held it's own when it mattered most, stopping the Green bay offense in it's tracks late in the 4th quarter to give the ball back to McNabb and company. The Eagles defense forced the Packers to give the ball up with 2:43 left. From there. Donovan McNabb drove the Eagles to victory. Philadelphia now has won 6 of their last 7 games after staring out 0-2. The defense forced 6 fumbles; recovering 2 of them and intercepting a Brett Favre pass once. On offense, the Eagles did not turn the ball over at all. With a 0:3 turnover ratio, the Eagles took advantage of some timely Green Bay mistakes and the final score read 17-14, Eagles.

For the 4th straight week, The Eagles found themselves behind at halftime. Trailing 7-0 in this one, the Birds took the kickoff and drove the ball 52 yards on 10 plays to the Green Bay 13-yard line. David Akers proceeded to kick a short FG for the first points of the game. Akers missed his first opportunity at 47 yards and his counterpart missed his only chance too. Both field goals were missed in the first half when weather conditions were at their worst. It was pretty windy throughout, but the rain made the ball very slick causing 6 fumbles by the home team. The Packers opening drive ended when Brett Favre fumbled the ball for an 18-yard sack. At the half, McNabb had only completed 3 of 11 passes for 28 yards and a 39.6 passer rating. Favre was 6 for 11, 58 yards and a 61.9 passer rating. Not a very good ratio for 2 of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. But in the second half, McNabb outplayed the hall-of-fame to be QB in green and yellow. On the game-winning TD drive, McNabb acted like a 5-star general leading the way to victory. On the other side of the field, Brett Favre fumbled the ball away in defeat. The Eagles are now 6-3 and in prime position to make another run towards the NFC Championship game. Next up, the New York Giants come to town after they lost to the lowly Atlanta Falcons, who have not won a game since the opener in Dallas. Jeremy Shockey, that loud mouth tight end who is not very well like in South Philly will miss at least a month of action due to a knee injury. That bodes well for the Eagles secondary and all is good now in Eaglesville.
