A gaggle of offensive linemen, those massive and massively
overlooked brutes of thankless tasks, formed a rare celebration circle around
Philadelphia Eagles colleague Todd Herremans.
Herremans then gleefully went nuts in the end zone.
“Linemen don’t catch many touchdowns,” said backup tight end Brent Celek,
another unlikely Eagles star in a 26-7 win over Seattle on Sunday. “I was afraid
that he’d throw the ball at me rather than spiking it.”
Doesn’t matter who Donovan McNabb is throwing to these days. He’s connecting
with them all.
McNabb rebounded from early problems to complete 28 of 43 passes for 349 yards
and two touchdowns, one on a tackle-eligible play for Philadelphia’s first TD by
an interior lineman in 74 years, to rally the streaking Eagles over the swooning
Seahawks.
“His eyes got as big as the Seahawk (end zone logo),” a smiling McNabb said of
Herremans, whose only other touchdown came in middle school when he blocked a
punt as a defensive lineman...more

Preview:
With All-Pro Brian
Westbrook back in the lineup and
Donovan McNabb scrambling and
making plays, the Philadelphia
Eagles look like they can make a
run for the playoffs. Westbrook
and McNabb try to lead the
Eagles to their third straight
victory on Sunday when they
visit the Seattle Seahawks, who
are expected to be without
quarterback Matt Hasselbeck for
a fourth straight game.
Westbrook missed two of
Philadelphia's past three games
with broken ribs and had been
bothered by an ankle injury, but
looked strong in the Eagles'
27-14 win over Atlanta last
Sunday...more
Pick: This should complete an excellent week for Philly fans. The Seahawks
showed signs of life last week and have beaten Philly two straight, including
28-24 last season. But there is nothing going to stop Brian Westbrook and
company now. Eagles 30 - Seahawks 20
