Gotta love it!
Donovan McNabb enjoyed one of the most prolific passing days of his career, leading the Eagles to a 28-10 win over the New York Giants. And for that, he earned his fourth career NFC Offensive Player of the Week award.
After an 0-2 start, the Eagles have rebounded to win seven of eight games, including five in a row, and are tied with the Dallas Cowboys for first place in the NFC East at 7-3.
McNabb completed 24 of 30 pass attempts for 314 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions for a 132.5 passer rating, the second-highest of his career, improving to 11-1 as a starter when posting a passer rating of at least 100.0.

The Chicago native also tied a career-high by completing 80 percent of his pass attempts.
After the Eagles fell behind 3-0 early in the first quarter, McNabb responded by engineering a nine-play, 61-yard drive capped by a one-yard touchdown run by running back Correll Buckhalter for a 7-3 Philadelphia advantage.
McNabb's arm was the difference in the second quarter, leading the Eagles 73 yards on three plays, connecting on a 38-yard pass and throwing a 29-yard scoring strike to Brian Westbrook for a 14-3 lead.
In the fourth quarter, after the Giants had narrowed their deficit to 21-10, McNabb helped end any hopes of a comeback. He led the team 55 yards on five plays, ending the march with a 5-yard touchdown pass to Westbrook for the 28-10 lead.
"Donovan did a nice job and was very productive," said Eagles head coach Andy Reid. "He was able to spread the ball around to a lot of different receivers."
