The play of the game was when all the momentum was with the eagles and mcnabb got cocky. The eagles were driving with ease and they run westbrook up the middle and a fake reverse. Dont know what the hell mcnabb was thinking when he started to hand the ball to Westbrook then decided not to then for some stupid reason tries to give it back to Westbrook at the last minute. Mcnabb played well but cost me the parlay. Eagles should have won this game. Had the parlay eagles ml and the over. Been that kind of year so far
what was the payout?
one last thing to get off my chest before I go to sleep. I have Mcnabb and Desean Jackson in my fantasy football league.............you guys know what is coming next.......... I have to rate the play by Desean Jackson flipping the ball back before he got in the endzone up there with the biggest bone head plays of all time. Cost me 2 touchdowns. What I really dont understand is that none chewed his butt out on the sideline after he did that. No coach or player
DESEAN SCREWS THE POOCH

Eagles rookie receiver DeSean Jackson got behind the Cowboys defense, caught the ball, and then cast it aside before he was in the end zone.
Jackson’s body language suggested to us that he realized he might have dropped the ball too soon. He quickly opted to act like he had scored, which in turn kept the two Cowboys defenders who were between Jackson and the ball from pouncing on it.
After review, it was determined that Jackson had indeed fumbled. But because the play ended with no one from the Cowboys recovering the ball, the Eagles retained possession where the ball came to rest.
And they scored on the next play, with a plunge from running back Brian Westbrook.
So while Jackson’s decision to throw the ball down early was stupid, his decision not to try to chase after the ball when he likely wouldn’t have recovered it was brilliant.
