| 11/15/10 - 7:59ET - RFK Stadium |
The preceding image is a photo taken by The Special One for the November 15th Monday Night Football game that featured the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Seals (Ok, Redskins) at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C.. Actually, this game didn't feature both teams. It really only featured the Eagles and Quarterback Michael Vick, who bludgeoned the Redskins defense time and time again before time regulations mercilessly ended the game. The Eagles beat down the Redskins by a final score of 59 to 28.
Honestly, the final score doesn't do justice to how dominant the Eagles were; this game was in doubt for literally 4 seconds. On the first play of the game, the Eagles used a play-action pass fake to free up wide receiver DeSean Jackson. Vick planted his feet at the Philadelphia 3 yard line and launched a pass to the streaking Jackson that the receiver hauled in on the Washington 34 before dancing his way into the end-zone (the ball was in flight for 63 yards! who does that?!?!) But Vick wasn't done there, he would throw 1 more touchdown pass and run for a score en route to a perfect first quarter and a 28-0 Philadelphia lead. Perfect is an accurate assessment of Vick's first quarter by aesthetic and statistical measures. Vick would finish the first quarter 8 for 8 with 181 yards passing and 2 touchdowns for a perfect passer rating of 158.3 (he would finish the game with a 150.7 passer rating). Vick and the Eagles take their seal bludgeoning act back home to Philadelphia where they face the New York Giants next Sunday
