A championship drive.
12 plays. 91 yards. Seven minutes, 24 seconds.
Ball game.
The Eagles never had a 3rd down on this drive. They walked down the field. Against a team that has talent. Against a team that was desperate. Against a team that likes nothing better than to beat the Eagles.
When they had to, they rose up. They crushed the Giants. They took their will and crushed it. They (probably) won the division.
Here's The Drive that just might define this season:
| 1-10-PHI9 | (13:12) L.McCoy left end to PHI 12 for 3 yards (J.Tuck, O.Umenyiora). |
| 2-7-PHI12 | (12:37) D.McNabb pass deep left to D.Jackson ran ob at PHI 32 for 20 yards. |

| (Pass formation) TWO-POINT CONVERSION ATTEMPT. D.McNabb pass to J.Avant is complete. ATTEMPT SUCCEEDS. | |
The Eagles are 9-4. They have won four straight. They are in December, a month they own. They are rolling towards the post-season.
The players believe.
You should believe too.

I didn't think Donsean was capable of leading a game-winning drive. I guess all of the haters are now lovers...
ReplyDeleteOh wait, this wasn't a playoff game so it doesn't count.
Or does it?
