Eagles set up rematch with Giants after topping Vikings
Football Betting Lines
01/04/2009 -
Minneapolis, MN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Brian Westbrook took a short screen pass 71
yards for a touchdown to shatter a two-point second-half deadlock with 6 1/2
minutes to play, and the Philadelphia Eagles went on to post a 26-14 victory
over the Minnesota Vikings in an NFC Wild Card bout.
Following a 16-14 Philadelphia halftime lead, neither team was able to alter
the scoreboard until the Eagles started their fourth drive of the second half
with a little under seven minutes to play.
On the first play of the series, Westbrook set up for the screen in the right
flat with a host of lineman pulling in front. That sprung the versatile back
into the middle of the field, where he turned on the jets to outrun several
would-be tacklers. A final block from Kevin Curtis inside the 10 allowed for a
23-14 lead.
The Vikings went three-and-out on three straight Tarvaris Jackson
incompletions, and the Eagles, in turn, punted back to Minnesota with 3:41 to
go.
Minnesota was able to move the ball only 18 yards before center Matt Birk
botched a snap back to Jackson, and the Eagles' Juqua Parker fell on the ball.
David Akers connected on his fourth field goal of the game -- from 45
yards out -- and the Eagles celebrated their moving on to play the New York Giants in the NFC's divisional round next Sunday.
Westbrook was bottled up for the most part until his game-changing catch-and-
run -- picking up 121 yards from scrimmage, with 38 of that coming on 20
carries.
Donovan McNabb was 23-of-34 passing for 300 yards with an interception, while
Asante Samuel came up with the big play on defense with a 44-yard interception
return for a score for the Eagles, who were able to nudge their way into the
conference's final wild card spot by going 4-1 down the stretch.
DeSean Jackson had one catch for 34 yards that helped set up an Akers field
goal, and he also put the Eagles in position for points throughout the game
with 109 yards on five punt returns.
Philadelphia posted victories over a pair of NFC division winners in Arizona
and the New York Giants during their push to make the playoffs, then capped
the strong run with a 44-6 pasting of the rival Dallas Cowboys last Sunday to
seize the sixth and the final seed with a 9-6-1 record.
Adrian Peterson had 83 yards rushing on 20 carries, with a pair of touchdowns,
while Jackson finished 15-of-35 passing for 164 yards, with a costly pick, for
the Vikings, who won five of their last six games to capture their first NFC
North title since 2000 and end a four-year playoff drought.
The Bears' 31-24 setback at Houston in Week 17 also secured the No. 3 playoff
seed for Minnesota, although the Vikings took matters into their own hands by
edging the NFC East champion Giants in their most recent test.
