McNabb 5 TD Passes in first half

[LeonardRachiele]

Week 12 of the 2004 season brought the Green Bay Packers, at 7-4, to Lincoln Financial Field to play the 11-1 Eagles. After a 1-4 start, the Packers won six in a row. Just how they won with that secondary I will never know. This was the most confused defense I have ever seen with trouble even huddling. In the first half, Donovan McNabb threw touchdown passes of:

–41 yards to Terrell Owens;
–9 yards to Brain Westbrook;
–41 yards to Brian Westbrook;
–6 yards to L.J. Smith and;
–12 yards to Brian Westbrook.

Coach Andy Reid slowed the tempo in the third quarter and David Ackers kicked four field goals. Donovan spent the fourth quarter on the bench. I was happy to see him not playing, healthy, and Philadelphia with a big lead. However, as time passes I wish he would have played and thrown three more touchdown passes. With the smoking hand had he had day, McNabb may have set a record of eight touchdown passes in one game. The current record is seven held by Adrian Burk, George Blanda, Y.A. Tittle, Joe Kapp, and Nick Foles.

Lack of starts or not, Foles has had a nice career ...
