Editor's note: As we predicted before the weekend, a screen pass to Brian Westbrook were critical to the Eagles success. Halfway through the fourth quarter, Westbrook caught a pass from Donovan McNabb and ran for a 71-yard touchdown that all but ended the game. Check out Josh Alper's analysis of how this play works, originally posted Friday morning.
