Philadelphia (AP) — Michael Vick 2, Manning brothers 0.
LeSean
McCoy ran 50 yards for a go-ahead score on a fourth-and-1 late in the
fourth quarter, and the Philadelphia Eagles rallied to beat the New York
Giants 27-17 after blowing a 13-point lead Sunday night.
Vick
looked a little more ordinary after a spectacular performance in a 59-28
win over Washington on Monday night, but he led the Eagles (7-3) to a
comeback win nonetheless, and into sole possession of first place in the
NFC East.
"We knew this game wasn't going to be like the last
game," Vick said. "We knew we would have to deal with adversity. It's
all about fighting and hanging in there when you have to."
Vick,
who accounted for six touchdowns against the Redskins, threw for 258
yards and ran for a score vs. the Giants. He outplayed Peyton Manning in
a win over Indianapolis two weeks ago, and outdid Eli Manning in this
one.
The Giants quarterback threw a pair of touchdown passes to
bring New York (6-4) back from a 16-3 deficit. But Manning lost a fumble
after running for a first down on fourth-and-6 with 2:51 left, and the
Eagles recovered. Manning scrambled 16 yards and dove headfirst, but the
ball came loose when he hit the ground untouched. Darryl Tapp
recovered.
