Turkey Day Battle

One of the NFL's biggest rivalries... Philadelphia Eagles vs Dallas Cowboys ! Thanksgiving day....what better way to celebrate than with a great game while you eat. We would get the ball first and open up with a smooth drive all the way to the redzone. A little fake to McCoy and Sanchez keeps it for a 2 yard TD run for the first points of the game. Defense on the field with a big task trying to handle Dez Bryant and NFL rushing leader DeMarco Murray. D held the Cowboys to an 11 play drive that lead to a punt. Back on Offense we continue to drive down the field. Then Sanchez finds rookie Jordan Matthews for a 27 yard TD pass. 1st quarter looking good as we lead 14-0. You can't get too hype besucase the Cowboys are a strong team, they drove down the field and Murray got up the middle for a 1 yard TD. The offensive drive continues as we move down the filed again but this time a TD pass was broken up by Barry Church and Parkey came on the field for a 31 yard FG. The rest of the 2nd quarter would slow down with constant stops and good defense. We did manage to pull out 2 FG from Parkey to put us up 23-7 at half. 2nd half would open up with back and fourth stops but the Cowboys would get a FG out of the process. After that FG by the Cowboys our offense would get back on track and Shady McCoy would get busy down the field for a 38 yard TD run. The start of the 4th quarter we would drive one more time but couldn't convert the TD so Parkey came on the field to put up the 25 yard FG. That would be the last points of the game as the defense would hold the Cowboys to 10 points in a great Eagles win!

*Side Notes*

That win put us on top of the NFC East by 1 game at 9-3 and the Cowboys now 8-4. We have the defending champs Seahawks next week.

Terrible Titans

Week 12 match up against Tennessee Titans. Josh Huff opened the game up with a 107 yard kickoff return. Nice way to start the game. Defense forced a quick 3 and out which lead to a Darren Sproles 4 yard TD. After that TD the 1st quarter would be a defensive match with consistent stops from both teams. We managed to get 1 FG in there, end of the first 17-0 in our favor. Titans would open up the 2nd quarter with a TD pass to Justin Hunter for 40 yards. We had a good offensive drive but could only come up with a FG on our next possession. The Titans offense would then drive down the field and get a 2 yard TD run from Shonn Green. Our offense seen what happened and would quickly return the favor with a great drive down the field and let Shady McCoy run in the TD for 2 yards. With the back and fourth scoring going on defense buckled down a little and only held the Titans to a FG to end the half at 27-17 Eagles. Defnese came out the gate pumped and ready stopping the Titans and forcing a punt which lead to Offense to go down the field and Sanchez to find James Casey for the 14 yard TD pass. The rest of the game would be full of stops and 3 FG makes from Cody Parkey and one late 4th quarter TD from the Titans. But it was too late for them.

*Side Notes*
That was a great way to bounce back from that beating we took. Now we need this momentum to carry on to thanksgiving day vs the Cowboys.
