Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Donovan McNabb enjoyed a happy debut in Washington Friday night, completing five of eight passes for 58 yards and a touchdown to receiver Anthony Armstrong on his two series as the host Redskins routed the bad and battered Buffalo Bills 42-17.Kevin Kolb, the young quarterback who replaced McNabb in Philadelphia, was 6-for-11 for 95 yards while producing field goal on each of his series for the Eagles against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars in a game the Eagles would win 28-17.
Fair to say that both franchises are feeling good about the first results with their new starters at the NFL's most important position.
"It was an exciting time," said the 34-year-old McNabb, the Eagles' starter for the previous decade-plus. "When you play your first game with a new ballclub it takes you back to the first game you played. Your adrenaline is high and you have to settle down a little bit. The second time we went out ... it led to us putting up some points. There are a lot of things we have to work on, but I thought offensively we were able to progress."
Kolb, 25, was pleased with the work of his equally youthful offensive mates.
"Obviously, when you get down into the red zone you want to score points, but both drives were successful," Kolb said. "We know we're talented. We just have to execute. ... We don't need to force anything. We're a young bunch. ... We feel like we can put up a lot of points. Like I said, there were some mistakes, but I thought it was a good start overall. ... We're excited about the way we started things today and we just need to keep moving forward next week."
Receiver DeSean Jackson, McNabb's top target the past two years, loves his new quarterback.
"I like how the momentum started in the huddle and then [Kolb] delivered the play," Jackson said. "We're just starting something new and we're having a good time. We're all just coming together and having a lot of fun and just playing with a lot of energy. We're young guys out there but we just do what we need to do."
And Redskins owner Dan Snyder raved about his new, veteran leader.
"He's very special," Snyder said about McNabb. "His form, his leadership. He's the total package."
