The Eagles defeated the defending-champion Giants in New Jersey on Sunday afternoon 23-11 on the strength of their stifling defense. The win means that the Eagles will travel to Arizona to face the Cardinals in the NFC Championship Game next Sunday. Donovan McNabb wasn't outstanding, going 22-for-40 with 217 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions, but his counterpart, Eli Manning, was downright horrible. Manning went 15-for-29 with 169 yards and two interceptions. Both teams placed a tremendous amount of defensive pressure on the opposing quarterback, but McNabb handled the attention slightly better. Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward combined for 138 yards on 31 carries, but didn't reach the end zone. Philadelphia struggled on the ground, but took advantage of favorable field position created by their defense. Brian Westbrook had 36 yards on eighteen carries, while Correll Buckhalter added 7 yards on five touches. Eagles' rookie receiver DeSean Jackson had four catches for a game-high 81 yards, including a huge 48-yard reception late in the fourth quarter that he brought to the Giants' one-yard line. The result will enter the history books as the first game to ever end 23-11. The strange score was created by a safety in the second quarter when McNabb was called for intentional grounding while throwing out of his own end zone. Philadelphia has advanced to the NFC Title game in five of the last eight seasons.
