but the story line is donovan mcnabb. he used to wear eagles five and now wearing the burgundy and gold number 5. don can tell you, look, it is just another game. there is no way it is just another game. >> but dave ross is just another sports guy. >> no way. this is a huge deal. he is a professional. i i believe him when he says -- he has played in five nfc title games. in that regard, it is not as big as those games but this still mean a ton to him because he has personal and professional pride. he wants to win this one. you think he is going to get booed? >> it's philadelphia. effect is going to get booed. >> he has got to get booed. >> yes, of course. >> here what is some of his teammates had to say about the booing. >> hopefully, cheers. i do know that. but 11 years have been great. it has been 11 great years and you wouldn't expect me it say i'm going to get booed, do you you. >> knowing them, they would boo him. they boo everybody. they booed him when he was winning game for them. it will be incident rhetting but i

on the ensuing drive moore comes with donovan mcnabb. tries to throw it away but it is tipped and moore gets it back. 54 yards for the td. bears strike first 7-0. but the redskins would rebound on their next possession. mcnabb finds santana moss back in the end-zone, 24-yard td just the second of the year for 89. but we are tied at 7. the second quarter now skins up 10- 7. and the dion display, landry just throws cutler down. and then let me see the guns, they are good. they will hurt you. two players later cutler once again feeling the effects of gravity gets sacked for the third time. take a look again arapaho and green beet their guys. cutler goes down. the bears lead 14-7. cutler keeps it but hit by albert hain postscript worth. london fletcher knocks the ball loose and the redskins recover. hain postscript worth leaps over the line of scrimmage, grabs cutler and you see the ball squirt out. skins ball. what a good job by andsworth. mcnabb throws a drive at the possession. skins at the 13. oh, no, dangelo hall. second pick of the gam

all week long, donovan mcnabb keeping it close to the best. when asked about the return to the city, he called the football home for 11 years, today going back with a different team trying to beat his former club, i tell you what emotions right off the top. he got a rousing reception before the game. in fact a standing ovation. they came out like gang busters, changes to brandon banks. he just resigned on saturday, putting washington in great football possession. and then quintin michael trying to touch terrain. here hooking up with chris cooley, down the hash. redskins breezing. michael vick going for the goal line. squeezed at the goal line. leaves the game. the x-rays on his chest and ribs were negative, but he did not return. the redskins offense, grinding to a halt in the 2nd half. the eagles had a chance. kevin cobb in for vick. jason nearly coming one it, can't squeeze it, d'angelo picks it, and the redskins provide, 17-123. >> -- 17-12. >> you have to find a way to win. at the end of the day you want to come back, and he's able to do.

donovan mcnabb back to pass. up top and deep to anthony armstrong. this is a great catch, folks, 48-yard touchdown. armstrong's first td of his career. skins later tied at 13 and forced overtime. in o.t. after a laron landry interception, the skins have a chance to win it. some guys can't watch. graham gano, the kicker on from 33 yar out, pressure. it's up and it's good. his first creer game winner the redskins defeat the packers 16-13 in overti improving to 3-2. here's the hpy head coach. >> unless you have a lot of character on your team, you usually don't win gamelike at, too many mistakes early. i'm proud of the way they handled themselves and the way they kept on fighting no finger pointing at any pointn game. you can tell they were all going in the same direction. really felt great about finding a wayto win. >> there you go. nextweek the redskins host the indianapolis colts, sunday night football right here. >> that's going to be a huge one. >> thanks, buddy. see you in a few minutes. >> redskins' defensive tackle albert haynesworth did not pla

he got his first career touchdown, a leaping 48 yarder from donovan mcnabb. >> armstrong is just kind of that big play guy. you never know when he may explode for a 40-50-yard catch. >> they called the play that would come to me. the safety gave me the instructions and i just knew i had to make a play. so i had a spark to get the w. >> reporter: were you able to see the replay on the jumbotron because it was not an easy catch. >> i thought a couple of times that i had strong hands on that. all three games i have been feeling strong in the hands. i just distrusted it to make that catch. >> anthony armstrong a player who this time last year was on the redskins practice squad. but with hands on those expect to see a whole lot more of number 13. lindsay murphy fox 5 sports. >> murphy, thanks. while armstrong and moss certainly were two of the keys they weren't the only ones. two defensive players really stoled the show. two that made plays in sudden death overtime. the possession and packers have the third and 12 from their own 24. aaron rogers was sacked for the second time. wasn't the b

it sealed the victory and donovan mcnabb leaves a winner against his former team. >> the relief that i got is the fact that this was over. the whole hoopla of coming back and you couldn't watch any tv without people talking about coming back to philadelphia and one thing that i didn't want my teammates to see was the fact it became a distraction for me. >> mcnabb said it was one other game, just a regular game. we weren't buying that. were you? >> you know what, i've been back to old stomping grounds and it feels good to get it for him. we wanted him to know it wasn't going to be him against the eagles. it was going to be all us right along with him and we fought for him, we scrapped for him and that's our guy. that's our brother and we'll keep fighting for him. >> mcnabb got the game ball. he'll get at least one more chance to play the eagles november 15th on monday night football. coming up later on an update on michael vick who was injured remember at the enof the 1st quarter. that could have -- end of the 1st quarter. that could have drastically changed that game, but he's got so

>> aww. >> it's always going to be a big deal when donovan mcnabb goes back to philly. but it is never going to be as big as it is on sunday. the first time mcnabb goes back to play against his former tm. he says he thinks he should be cheered when he comes out of the tunnel for the first time. he should be. he is the greatest quarterback in the history that franchise. but you know some of those phillies fans are going to try to live up to their reputation and boo him endlessly. mcnabb took the eagles to five nfc championship games in eight years and holds nearly passing record in franchise history after 11 seasons in philadelphia. here in washington, mcnabb has been good, but not gat. and the team sat a crossroads this week. win and they even their record at 2-2. lose and they fall to 1-3. a lot of it will have to do with how well mcnabb plays. >> just excited about this opportunity, to give us a chan of getting back on track. obviously the last two weeks have been won that we're obviously upset about. and to step back out on the field and possibly put ourselves at 2-0

mcnabb to get back five times. and the skins would trail by ten in the fourth quarter. is that something that might interest you? these are not your regular skins. these are highlights presented by hh greg. portis out with a groin injury. they visited fedex field for the first time in six years. packers would start on offense. first possession aaron rogers play action. and hooks up with the tight-end donald lee who is tackled and stripped by land rip. moore recovers the fumble and returns it to the green bay 21- yard line. what do you call that, a go ahead start. three plays later the pack 22 and that snap came in a little bit high. over mcnabb's head. runs it down. tackle by clay matthews jr. skins lose 22 on the play. end up with no points after the to. ensuing drive and the play and 79-yard jackson run. he finds donald lee for the five yard score. packers lead 7-0. fourth and goal at the redskins one. rogers is looking for corelis. a beautiful defense by alexander. stopped the pack three times from the one yard
