Philadelphia Eagles NewswireArmed and dangerous (Yahoo! Sports)Three rookie QBs took the helm on Sunday and were all impressive despite failing to lead their teams to victory.
Rude awakening (Yahoo! Sports)PHILADELPHIA – In his much-anticipated return, Terrell Owens was a non-factor while Donovan McNabb flourished.
Eagles 38, Cowboys 24 (AP)With Terrell Owens watching from the sideline, Donovan McNabb turned ordinary receivers into big-time playmakers. McNabb threw touchdown passes of 40 yards to Reggie Brown and 87 yards to Hank Baskett, and Lito Sheppard returned an interception 102 yards in the final minute to seal the Eagles' 38-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
Eagles CB Brown hurt vs. Cowboys (AP)Eagles cornerback Sheldon Brown went to the locker room during the second half of Philadelphia's game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday to have X-rays taken of his injured ankle. Brown was shaken up after making a tackle late in the third quarter. With nickel cornerback Roderick Hood out with a heel injury, Joselio Hanson replaced Brown in the lineup.
T.O. No Show: Owens as quiet as hostile fans in first game back in Philly (AP)Terrell Owens expected more harassment, more vicious scorn, out of the Philadelphia fans. The Eagles diehards were waiting for that one big catch, one outlandish celebration to hurl insults and maybe a few objects at the formerly beloved receiver. Neither got what they expected Sunday. The boos toward T.O.
Westbrook back, Stallworth and Hood inactive for Eagles (AP)Despite missing practice all week with a knee injury, Eagles running back Brian Westbrook was active for Philadelphia's highly anticipated matchup with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Receiver Donte' Stallworth and nickel cornerback Roderick Hood were deactivated for the Eagles, who got cornerback Lito Sheppard back after he hadn't played since Week 1 with an ankle injury.
T.O. aside, Eagles-Cowboys an attraction (AP)Long before Terrell Owens ever wore a green jersey or a blue star on his helmet, the Eagles-Cowboys game was a bitter rivalry no matter where the teams stood in the standings or who was playing on the field. The hatred among Philadelphia fans for Dallas has lasted decades -- from Roger Staubach to Troy Aikman, from Tom Landry to Jimmy Johnson, from Tex Schramm to Jerry Jones.
Kiss and make up? (Yahoo! Sports)Will T.O. and Donovan McNabb exchange pleasantries or ignore each other before kickoff on Sunday?
Trotter knows what Owens should expect in return to Philly (AP)He was a fan favorite before a bitter split from Philadelphia turned the diehards against him, cursing and jeering his every move in his first trip back. "When you're on the team, they love you. When you're not, they hate you," Eagles linebacker Jeremiah Trotter said Thursday. "They'll say anything to get under your skin." Trotter knows exactly what Dallas wide receiver Terrell Owens should expect...
McNabb tackles more T.O. questions (AP)Donovan McNabb walked up to the podium, sat down and announced there would be no questions about Terrell Owens. Yeah, right. T.O. and the Dallas Cowboys are coming to Philadelphia. The hype for Sunday's game could reach Super Bowl level. Not only were plenty of questions asked Wednesday, McNabb actually answered a few without juking around them the way he does tacklers.

Philly already gearing up for T.O. (AP)The clever chants started before the Eagles played the Green Bay Packers on Monday night and the derogatory signs came out by the fourth quarter. Philadelphia sure is ready for Terrell Owens and the Dallas Cowboys. Tailgaters in the parking lot sang: "Oh-Deee! O.D., O.D., O.D., Oh-Deee, O.D.!!!" And, that was before kickoff against Brett Favre and the Packers.
Eagles 31, Packers 9 (AP)Donovan McNabb juked and jived the way he did early in his career. Brett Favre had a throwback night, too -- to his days of erratic interceptions. McNabb ran for two touchdowns and threw for a pair, leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a 31-9 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. Meanwhile, Favre, who has enjoyed many memorable moments on the national stage throughout his 16-year career,...
Three receivers hurt in Green Bay-Philadelphia game (AP)Three receivers left Monday night's Green Bay-Philadelphia game in the third quarter because of injuries.

Brown was taken to the locker room for X-rays after he hurt his shoulder on a 23-yard completion from Donovan McNabb.
RBs Westbrook, Green out for Monday night game (AP)Both Green Bay and Philadelphia were without their starting running backs for Monday night's game, with Ahman Green and Brian Westbrook both deactivated with injuries. Westbrook, still bothered by a sore knee, leads the Eagles with 256 yards rushing and three touchdowns, and has caught 15 passes for 164 yards and two touchdowns.
Former Eagles fondly remember the 1960 championship team (AP)Green Bay had the names that would all end etched in football lore: Bart Starr, Paul Hornung, Max McGee, Vince Lombardi. The Packers already had won six championships before playing for a seventh in the 1960 NFL title game against Philadelphia, a dynasty bubbling on the horizon. Green Bay clearly was established on the football landscape then, although its place on the map eluded one future Hall of...

Eagles, Packers hope to erase bitter Monday night memories (AP)The Packers and Eagles both have something to prove when they meet in Philadelphia on Monday night. When Brett Favre last played before a Monday night audience, Green Bay suffered the most lopsided loss in the history of ABC's "Monday Night Football." It was nearly that ugly for Philadelphia in its last Monday night appearance.
