I don't really think it was a fix. But the truth is the Eagles were outplayed by the Pack in that game. It wasn't even close. The Pack ran the ball down the Eagles throat all day. They sacked the QB 8 times. Yes, the Eagles deserve credit for finding a way to stay in the game, and McNabb pulled a couple of miracle plays out of his butt. But they weren't the better team as you put it. They needed a near-miracle 27 yard hail mary to avoid a defeat that would have left all of Philly cursing McNabb and his team once again. Not to mention a gift of a floated pass by Favre, and the refusal of Sherman to go for 1 yard to seal the game.

Arizona. 4th & 25. McCown completes a 28 yard touchdown pass to beat the Vikings.
Kinda fitting that they get knocked out on a 28 yard McNabb completion on 4th & 26, if you ask me. Live by the 4th & Forever, die by the 4th & Forever...
