LeSean McCoy talked about what his TD meant to his confidence
"In terms of my confidence, it definitely boosted it. Having the opportunity to make a play, even after a mistake, it was awesome. It's also on the shoulders of the line. There was some excellent blocking to make some room for us."
Donovan McNabb was asked what he said to Jay Cutler after the game
"I got a chance to talk to Jay a little bit. What we talked about, we are going to keep between us. It's a fraternity of the quarterbacks. I've been through a different situation, but somewhat similar to what he is going through right now. I will continue to provide confidence for him and let him know that he's not the only one who has been through a situation like this. Everyone's been through a situation where you struggle a little bit, but he will bounce back."
Andy Reid talked about what the win meant
"We haven't had a lot of luck in the close games. This time, the guys battled through. They really weren't worrying about what was happening, and just keep banging on. I am proud of them for that. The coaches never got down and they kept pushing. I thought the coordinators did a nice job. Ted Daisher (special teams) really had to deal with a tough card, having to deal with Devin Hester and Johnny Knox."

TD redeems Eagles' McCoy | Philadelphia Inquirer | 11/23/2009
LeSean McCoy failed and redeemed himself all in one quarter as the Eagles rallied to beat the Bears, 24-20, last night at Soldier Field.
Bears' Jay Cutler misses targets vs Eagles | Philadelphia Inquirer | 11/23/2009
The Chicago Bears' receivers did not wear glow-in-the-dark numbers to help Jay Cutler spot them. Cutler did not walk onto Soldier Field wearing night-vision goggles, as plenty of Bears fans had suggested all week.
Eagles' Peters aggravates ankle injury but plays on | Philadelphia Daily News | 11/23/2009
Jason Peters, the offseason upgrade at left tackle, returned after a week off dealing with his ankle injury. He was leaned on heavily in the Eagles' first drive, which earned them a field goal, and he played flawlessly on that drive, which set the tone for him during the Eagles' first two possessions. The first brought a field goal, the second a touchdown. Then came the third possession, and the play on which he aggravated the ankle injury. He didn't come out. But his play got worse.
Bears look boring, Cutler sharp as a butter knife -- chicagotribune.com
The Big Sleep lasted almost three quarters. As usual, Jay Cutler was feeling around in the dark, not sure who he was or where he was during a night game. All that was missing was a stubbed toe on the dresser.
McNabb excels in play action - NFC East Blog - ESPN

Philadelphia Eagles (finally) win a close one over Bears 24-20

A 4th quarter comeback. A win in a close game. A road win in the conference... It wasn't the prettiest game of the year, but it was a big win and the team showed some real guts tonight.
It really was great to see the Eagles finish this one off. Both offense and defense making plays at the end of the game... it's something we haven't seen from this team is far too long, but sometimes all you need is to get that monkey off your back. The Eagles did that tonight.
That said... I can't really write a recap of this game without acknowledging the monumentally bad game from Jay Cutler tonight. Let's be honest, there were Bears receivers running wide open down field past our secondary and had Jay Cutler been able to put a ball on target for at least one of them this could have been a different game. That was the worst QB play I've seen from an opponent all year. I don't know what was up with him tonight, but the Eagles secondary won't be able to get away with the things they did tonight very often.

Did you know?
In 2007, the Bears' Devin Hester tied the NFL record held by Pro Football Hall of Famer ELROY "CRAZYLEGS" HIRSCH with eight 50-yard touchdowns in a single season.
Desean Jackson has already scored six touchdowns of at least 50 yards (four receiving, one punt return, one rushing) through the first nine games of this season and is poised to challenge the standard set by Hirsch and Hester.

Washington will face off against Dallas without the help of Albert Haynesworth or Clinton Portis. Atlanta is coming into town to take on New York, who will be without star linebacker Antonio Pierce. Other matchups include Indianapolis at Baltimore, San Francisco at Green Bay, Buffalo at Jacksonville, Pittsburgh at Kansas City, Seattle at Minnesota, New Orleans at Tampa Bay, and in what will surely be a thrilling contest, Cleveland at Detroit.
UPDATE: Washington's Ladell Betts has suffered a game-ending knee injury. DeAngelo Hall is also questionable with a knee contusion. Tony Romo is playing through a hip contusion after a collision with Hall during a fumble return.
And on top of all that, the Browns are surprisingly crushing the Lions 24-3. Brady Quinn is 8/9 with 151 yards and 3 TDs in the first quarter.

Eagles Notebook: Reid says Eagles' penalty situation has gotten 'ridiculous' | Philadelphia Daily News | 11/20/2009
Andy Reid doesn't throw around words like "ridiculous" every day. So when the coach, asked about being fourth in the league in penalty yardage assessed, reached deep into his bag of press conference responses, right past "I have to do a better job putting the players in position to make plays," and "everyone has a little piece of the pie," to "It's ridiculous" - well, you could tell Big Red was a mite peeved.
