Vick and Eagles Embarrass McNabb and Redskins

Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles embarrassed the Washington Redskins, spoiling Donovan McNabb's big contract day with a 59-28 victory Monday night.

Vick completed his first 10 passes and finished 20 for 28 for 333 yards with four touchdowns. He also ran eight times for 80 yards and two scores, moving past Steve Young and into second place in NFL history for yards rushing by a quarterback.

The Redskins signed McNabb to a five-year contract extension before kickoff, but the six-time Pro Bowl quarterback threw three interceptions.

The win moved Philadelphia (6-3) into a first-place tie with the New York Giants in the NFC East, with both teams two games ahead of the Redskins (4-5). The Eagles are 4-0 when Vick starts and finishes the game.

Michael Vick threw four touchdown passes, including an 88-yarder to DeSean Jackson on the game's first snap, and ran for two scores, helping the Eagles break a team record for points in a half en route to leading 59-21 after three quarters against Donovan McNabb's Redskins on Monday night.

In the first two quarters alone, Vick went 14 for 18 for 264 yards and three TD passes, and ran six times for 66 yards and two TDs, helping the Eagles score 45 points in that span to top the franchise mark of 42 points in a half.

Vick added a TD pass in the third quarter, and he was 19 for 26 for 323 yards entering the fourth, already the 13th NFL player to top 300 yards passing in Week 10 — the most for a single week in league history. He also was up to 80 yards rushing on eight carries.

The record for most points allowed by the Redskins in a regular-season game: 62, against the Cleveland Browns, in 1954.

The pregame buzz Monday was all about former Eagles quarterback McNabb's five-year contract extension with the Redskins that's worth as much as $78 million, including $40 million guaranteed.

But McNabb threw three interceptions through three quarters, including two to Dimitri Patterson, who returned one 40 yards for a TD. McNabb mostly handed off in the first quarter to backup running back Keiland Williams, starting because of injuries to Clinton Portis and Ryan Torain.

Instead, Vick was the unquestioned star of this game between NFC East rivals who nearly came to pregame blows before officials stepped in to separate players.

Vick completed his first 10 passes, accumulating 236 yards and three TDs in that span.

Philadelphia led 28-0 after the first quarter, the biggest lead for a road team after one period in NFL history, according to STATS LLC. Vick was 8 for 8 for 181 yards passing, along with three runs for 26 yards in the quarter. That allowed him to move past Steve Young and into second place in NFL history for yards rushing by a quarterback, behind only former Eagles QB Randall Cunningham.

McNabb and the Redskins did awaken a bit in the second quarter — but only after they were already behind 35-0. McNabb completed two passes longer than 70 yards that set up two short TD tosses.

Of Philadelphia's six first-half TDs, the only one Vick didn't account for was the fourth, a 50-yard run by Jerome Harrison with a little under two minutes left in the first quarter.

That's when some boos emerged from the stands — and it's also around the time that rain began falling, making for an altogether dreary evening for the home crowd. When the quarter ended, Redskins fans cheered, but things hardly got any better, and the stands were pretty empty in the third quarter.

Earlier, Jorrick Calvin bobbled the opening kickoff, leaving Philadelphia to start at its own 12, and Vick rolled to his left on first down with plenty of time to find an open receiver. His pass hit Jackson in stride at the Washington 35, and when safety LaRon Landry fell down, the receiver sauntered in, high-stepping backward before emphatically spiking the ball in the end zone.

Philadelphia's next possession was capped by Vick's first rushing TD, a 7-yarder. After that, he had his right ankle taped on the sideline, but he didn't miss a beat — or any plays.

Washington's second possession ended with McNabb being picked off by rookie seventh-round draft pick Kurt Coleman, who started in place of injured free safety Nate Allen.

The Eagles made it 21-0 on Vick's 11-yard scoring pass to LeSean McCoy, before Harrison's run padded the lead.

On the first play of the second quarter, Vick connected with Jeremy Maclin on a 48-yard touchdown pass. Maclin caught the ball while falling backward into the end zone, and the Redskins challenged the TD call, which was upheld after a replay review.

Already trailing by five touchdowns, the Redskins got on the scoreboard for the first time with a quick drive of their own. McNabb threw a 71-yard pass to tight end Fred Davis on the first play of the possession, and on the next — first-and-goal from the 3 — the QB threw a TD pass to running back Darrel Young.

It wasn't until the next drive that Vick finally threw an incompletion. That was followed by Washington's second fast score, when McNabb's 76-yard completion to Anthony Armstrong led to a 6-yard TD pass to Williams that made it 35-14.

After McNabb's second interception, Vick ran 6 yards on a quarterback draw to make it 42-14 with 3½ minutes left in the half.

David Akers added a 48-yard field goal with 25 seconds remaining in the second quarter to make it 45-14 at halftime.

Williams scored on a 4-yard run on the opening possession of the third quarter to get Washington within 45-21.

But Vick then threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Jason Avant, followed by Patterson's interception return.
