Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was brilliant on first down throws and play-action passes in his team's 24-20 win over the Bears Sunday night. According to ESPN Stats & Information, McNabb was 9-of-10 for 115 yards and two touchdowns off play-action. He had a passer rating of 154.2.
On nonplay-action, he was 14-of-22 for 129 yards and one interception. Of course, it also helped that his offensive line played really well. The Eagles threw on first down 12 times against the Bears. McNabb was 11-of-12 for 133 yards and a touchdown. That's good enough for 11.1 yards for completion on first down.
