McNabb 5 TD Passes in first half
Posted: Sun Dec 25, 2022 6:09 pm
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.
