NFL Scores Week 8: Brian Westbrook Runs Over Atlanta Falcons as Philadelphia Eagles Move Over .500

Brian Westbrook rushed for 167 yards and a pair of touchdowns, Donovan McNabb threw for 253 yards and had a rushing TD and the Philadelphia Eagles (4-3) caught a late break to drop the Atlanta Falcons (4-3) 27-14 on Sunday.

 

The Falcons jumped in front 7-0 in the second quarter after Matt Ryan hit Roddy White on a 55-yard touchdown pass but McNabb answered with a 3-yard plunge to even the score and David Akers gave the Eagles a 10-7 halftime advantage with a 36-yard field goal.

 

Westbrook then gave Philly a 17-7 lead in the third quarter when he scored from 16-yards out and after Akers connected from 18-ayrds it looked like the game was on ice. Ryan rallied the Falcons though and hit White for the second time, this one an 8-yard touchdown to cut the Falcons deficit to 2-14 with 3:55 on the clock.

 

Atlanta then held the Eagles and forced them to punt with just over two minutes left on the clock. On that punt the referee ruled Adam Jennings muffed the kick and Philadelphia recovered, leading to a game-sealing 39-yard touchdown run from Westbrook.

 

The replay clearly showed Jennings never touched the ball but because Atlanta had no more timeouts left the call could not be challenged.
