During the 2009 regular season, the Philadelphia Eagles' offense lived and died by the big play.
And it looks like the Pro Bowlers from Philly’s 11-5 squad packed their quick-strike capabilities in their suitcases for the 2010 Pro Bowl.
Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb hit Philly teammate/wide receiver DeSean Jackson for a 58-yard touchdown in the third quarter of Sunday’s NFL Pro Bowl to give the NFC team a 24-17 led at Sun Life Financial Stadium.
So far for the game, Jackson has hauled in four receptions for 82 yards on five targets. The second-year speedster has found the end zone twice and is currently a leading candidate for the game’s MVP award.
Unfortunately for the NFC, the lead didn’t last long.
Jaguars quarterback David Garrard just hit Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson for a 48-yard touchdown, tying the score at 24 a piece with 13:19 to play in the third quarter.
