Quarterback Donovan McNabb #5 of the Phildelphia Eagles walks off the field after
losing to the Arizona Cardinals during the NFC championship game. The Eagles veteran
QB had a great game, completing 28 of 48 passes for 375 yards and 3 touchdowns. He also
had 1 INT. Even being down 24-6 at the half, McNabb led a furious comeback only to
fall short as the defense gave up 369 total yards and allowed the Cardinals QB Kurt
Warner to earn the 32-25 victory with a 145.7 QB rating.

Donovan McNabb's 62-yard TD pass to DeSean Jackson is the third longest
in Eagles playoff history, behind Jeff Garcia's 75-yarder to Donte
Stallworth and McNabb's 71-yarder to Westbrook against the Vikings.
David Akers' NFL-record of consecutive FG's ended at 19 when he missed
from 47 yards early in the second quarter. He later missed a PAT, the first

was the third longest against the Eagles in the playoffs, the longest since
Don Majkowski's 68-yarder to Herman Moore in the Eagles' 1995 wild-card win
over the Lions. Fitzgerald is also the first player with three TD catches
against the Eagles in any game since the Jets TE Johnny Mitchell did it
in 1993. He's the first wideout to do it since Bob Hayes of the Cowboys
did it in 1966. The Eagles 454 yards are the most ever in a playoff game.
They had 452 against the Lions in their 59-37 wild-card win over the Lions

Randall Cunningham had 407 yards in the Fog Bowl against the Bears in 1988.
