McNabb Rallies the Eagles to 27-24 win against the Redskins... Posted by DieHardFans | at 5:00 AM

While the Indianapolis Colts quarterback, Peyton Manning is the undisputed king of comebacks, Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb isn’t too shabby either. Sunday’s game between the Eagles and Washington Redskins at Lincoln Financial Field saw McNabb performing well.

He drove a 24-all score and kicker David Akers converted the game-winning field goal, allowing Philadelphia to rally and defeat Washington 27-24. The Redskins would strike first however, as they needed only four plays to score as Jason Campbell ran in from a yard out. The Eagles fought back, scoring ten points on a 6-minute span, capped by a 35-yard McNabb to DeSean Jackson TD pass, giving Philadelphia a 10-7 lead. However, the Eagles would lose Jackson later in the second quarter with a concussion.

Washington would also enter the second quarter scoring first on a 4-yard TD pass from Campbell to Santana Moss with 11:44 left in the half, allowing the Redskins to regain the lead. An additional pair of Akers field goals 46 seconds apart would help the Eagles take a 16-14 lead.

This was short lived however as Washington went ahead 21-16 on their first possession of the second half, driving 80 yards on nine plays, capped by a 10-yard TD pass from Campbell to Fred Davis. This is all academic though, given that the Redskins would up their lead to 24-16 on a Shaun Suisham FG. But then McNabb would drive the Eagles 90 yards, capped by a 1-yard run by Eldra Buckley and a two-point conversion, tying the game at 24-all.

Akers would put the icing on the cake for Philadelphia Eagles when he kicked a 32-yard FG with 1:48 left in the game!
