| 7th December, 2005 - 5:14 pm |  Associated Press - Mike McMahon will start at quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles against the New York Giants on Sunday despite being benched after throwing two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns against Seattle.
"I like Mike's mobility," coach Andy Reid said Wednesday. "It's important everybody does their job. The quarterback gets the brunt of it. I'm not going to point fingers. Everybody had a piece in it."
Koy Detmer replaced McMahon in the second quarter of Monday night's 42-0 loss to the Seahawks, but didn't fare much better.
McMahon was awful against Seattle. He completed 4 of 10 passes for 61 yards and the two picks. On the first interception, McMahon stared down receiver Greg Lewis and tried to force a pass between two defenders. Andre Dyson stepped in front, picked it off and ran untouched 72 yards for a score. However, it's possible Lewis may have run the wrong route or didn't make the proper adjustment to the ball. [READ] |
