The Philadelphia Eagles became the first team in NFL history to have each of their first three wins by two ppoints or less. The defending Super Bowl champion Giants have lost 8 of the last 9 meetings with the Eagles.

The Giants had two chances at thhe end of the fourth quarter to take the lead with a fieldgoal but they missed both of them. Coach Andy Reid called a timeout after Tynes missed the first fieldgoal to ice his knee, which many believe could have caused him to miss the second one. When asked if he regretted calling a timeout to ice Tynes coach Andy Reid said, "When you're surrounding by 66,000 people that probably wanna rip your head off, yeah,"

Vick was 19 for 30 for 241 yards. The eagles led the NFL with the most turnovers this season but didn't have any this game.

Manning completed 24 for 42 passes for 309 yards, had two touchdowns and threw an interception.

Before the game the Eagles retired the No. 20 worn by Brian Dawkins for 13 seasons.

The regular NFL officials returned last night, and the Ravens beat the Browns. The NFL and officials made a deal Wednesday so they could ref the thursday night game were Baltimore won 23-16 against the Browns. Cleveland had a chance to tie it up with a fourth down pass to the end zone but it fell incomplete. A personal foul on Baltimore linebacker Paul Kruger gave them yet another chance, but they couldn't get it. Joe Flacco threw for one touchdown and ran for another. Cary Williams returned an interception and ran for 63 yards to score another touchdown at the end of the third quarter. This is the third time since 1998 that the Browns have lost the first four games of the season.

The NFL has been using replacement referees ever since the regular official lock out. They have been making terrible calls ever since the start of the season. They went too far Monday by making a bad call that cost Green Bay the game. Seattle threw a hail mary which was intercepted by a Green Bay defender. One official signled a touchdown and another signled a interception. Seattle got the touchdown winning them the game. The NFL is trying to work out a deal with the officials, but the $9 billion corperation doesn't want to pay the 3 million that the officials are demanding in a pension.
