NEW YORK (Reuters) - Donovan McNabb tossed two first-half touchdown passes to help the Philadelphia Eagles cruise to a 27-14 win over the Minnesota Vikings Sunday and reach the NFC championship game for a fourth consecutive year.
Next Sunday the Eagles will host the high-flying Atlanta Falcons, who booked their place in the conference finals on Saturday with a 47-17 demolition of the St. Louis Rams.
"Today we just wanted to come out, be offensive and continue to work hard," McNabb told reporters after the game. "The good thing about this year is we are a better team and we're healthy. "Our goal is to win the whole thing and we'll take it one game at a time."
In the buildup to the contest, there was concern the Eagles might come out flat since they were missing injured all-star wide receiver Terrell Owens. They had also not played a meaningful game in nearly month after clinching their division and a first round bye.
However, midway through the first quarter the Eagles flexed their offensive muscles, scoring touchdowns on three consecutive possessions on way to a commanding 21-7 halftime lead.
McNabb completed 21 of 33 passes for 286 yards and two touchdowns. More>>>
