SB Nation's Bleeding Green Nation is celebrating the Eagles 26-24 victory over the Colts on Sunday. They're calling it an "epic" win and a the best game of the season for the Eagles. Beating Peyton Manning and the Colts is no easy task so Philly certainly deserves some kudos.
Colts Vs. Eagles: Michael Vick Out-Duels Peyton Manning In Philly’s ‘Best Win Of The Season’
As always, the story of the day is the quarterbacks. Here’s BGN on the two quarterbacks:
Michael Vick out-dueled Peyton Manning today. He made the big plays, Manning for the most part did not. This is not to say Manning didn't play well, for the most part I thought he did... But he finished today with 65.7 QB rating compared to Vick's 93.8. The big difference was turnovers. Vick had none, Manning had two both of which were Asante Samuel interceptions. It was Samuel's pick with under :20 to go that sealed the win for the Eagles.
Manning completed 31-of-52 passes for 294 while Vick completed 17-of-29 passes for 218 yards. The x-factor was Michael Vick’s legs as he added another 74 yards on the ground.
The Colts loss drops them into a tie with the Titans for first place in the AFC South while the Eagles remain a game behind the Giants in the NFC East. Check out Stampede Blue and Bleeding Green Nation for more on the game.
