McNabb worked his passes around to eight players, led by Brian Westbrook with five catches for 39 yards. Westbrook also handled the bulk of the running load, carrying 16 times for 96 yards.
Fireworks went off above the stadium. And tons of glitter fluttered over the field, recreating the blizzard that swept through the city a day earlier. It was a great season for the Falcons, who came within one win of their second Super Bowl after going last season. With Vick at quarterback, the future looks bright. Philadelphia scored on its second possession after Chris Mohr managed just an 8-yard punt into a stiff wind.
The Eagles appeared to go three-and-out, but a holding penalty on rookie cornerback DeAngelo Hall kept the drive alive. Westbrook broke off a yard run, scooting through a huge hole on the right side and breaking through Brian Scott's attempted tackle.
Dorsey Levens finished it off with a 4-yard touchdown run, appearing to be stopped at the 2 but getting a shove into the end zone from offensive guard Jermane Mayberry. The Falcons responded by holding the ball for almost nine minutes, also benefiting from a defensive holding penalty on third down that kept the drive alive.
But Philadelphia stiffened on first-and-goal from 2, throwing T. Duckett for a loss -- only the second negative run of the season for the pound back. Atlanta was forced to settle for Jay Feely 's yard field goal. Back came the Eagles for another touchdown, set up by another big play. Lewis slowed up to catch the ball while Morton stumbled out of position, the result being a yard completion to the Atlanta 4.
Two plays later, it was another Lewis, tight end Chad, making a spectacular catch in the corner of the end zone. Eagles Drives. Falcons Drives. Full Play-By-Play. Full Site Menu Return to Top.

This time, they would take on Michael Vick and the Atlanta Falcons. This was no ordinary day for a football game. The day before, the Philadelphia area was hit with an awful snow storm. As a senior in high school, I was lucky enough to have school canceled the next day. As a long-time fan, this is the best memory of the Eagles I have ever had. Am I disappointed that they ended up losing in the Super Bowl to the Patriots?
However, the way I look at the situation is during that game against the Falcons, the Eagles accomplished something that they had tried to do the last three seasons. I can remember everything about Jan.
The one thing that will always remember is the way the fans inside the Linc reacted when Chad Lewis caught that touchdown with just over three minutes left in the game to seal the Eagles victories.
The fans knew they were so close. Eagles Starters. Falcons Drives. Eagles Drives. Full Play-By-Play. Full Site Menu Return to Top. All-time Scores , Find a Score All Player Colleges , High Schools Lambeau Field , Superdome , Candlestick Park
