Michael Vick Relatively Quiet in Win

All that talk about the Philadelphia Eagles using Michael Vick in the wildcat may have been just that. While Vick was eligible, active and playing against the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday, the Eagles didn't use him a whole lot.

Instead, rookie LeSean McCoy was been the star of the wildcat, and it worked pretty well. The Eagles took a 24-7 lead into halftime, rolled to a 34-14 win, and did most of that while riding McCoy's running and the arm of Kevin Kolb.

Kolb threw for 327 yards and two touchdowns -- one each to DeSean Jackson and Brent Celek, who each topped 100 yards receiving. McCoy, filling in for injured starter Brian Westbrook, racked up 84 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

The story of the day, however, was Vick, and he didn't do much. The Eagles used him a few times in spread formation sets, but Vick finished with just one rush for seven yards and two incomplete passes. He looked like a quarterback who hadn't played in a long time when he threw the ball, but he looked very comfortable taking a shotgun snap and running off right tackle on a keeper.
