289 yards and 3 TDs in just the second half for the 49ers, after putting up just 153 in the first half.
1 more gadget play that blew up in Andy Reid’s face. Ronnie Brown was apparently trying to run some kind of option play at the goal line when it became obvious the Eagles don’t have the ability to beat anyone in a short-yardage situation at the line of scrimmage. Brown got stuff, then tried some kind of pass/lateral that resulted in a turnover.

I Don’t Get It: Why does anyone in the press even bother to attend the Andy Reid press conferences. You know what you are going to get. It’s an insult not just to the press but also to the fans.
