- The key defensive series of the game for the Eagles came in the third quarter, when they stopped the Saints three times from the 1-yard line, with rookie linebacker Stewart Bradley – playing because Takeo Spikes is out for the season with a torn rotator cuff – being given credit for the tackle, or least a hit, on all three downs. Later, in the fourth quarter, Bradley also had an interception. (Philly.com)

- Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb showed some of his old form with a 40 yard dash around the left end on just the third play from scrimmage. Safety Josh Bullocks, initially beat on the play, never gave up and punched the ball out of McNabb’s hands. The bounding ball nearly ended up being recovered by a diving Mike McKenzie. But, the ball eluded McKenzie and instead ended up in the arms of Eagles wide receiver Kevin Curtis in the end zone. (nosreview.com)
