Eagles Rebound in 2nd Half to Beat 49ers
San Francisco returned a blocked field goal at the end of the 1st half, but the Birds soared in the end with a 40-26 victory over the 49ers
Sunday, October 12, 2008
Donovan McNabb passed for 280 yards and two touchdowns without the help of his two main receivers and the team’s top running back. The Eagles' aggressive defenders forced three turnovers during a 23-point fourth quarter in Philadelphia's 40-26 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Donald Strickland returned a blocked field goal 41 yards for a touchdown on the final play of the first half for the 49ers (2-4), who took the lead 26-17 in the third quarter. They failed to hold that good fortune in losing their third straight against a Philadelphia defense that swarmed the 49ers the offense. The Eagles are now 3-3, and have next week off.
