Vick accounts for six TDs in rout

Philadelphia’s Jerome Harrison (ex-WSU) rushes for a touchdown.

Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles embarrassed the Washington Redskins, spoiling Donovan McNabb’s big contract day with a 59-28 victory Monday night in Landover, Md.

Vick completed his first 10 passes and finished 20 of 28 for 333 yards with four touchdowns. He also ran eight times for 80 yards and two scores, moving past Steve Young and into second place in NFL history for yards rushing by a quarterback.

The Redskins signed McNabb to a five-year, $78 million contract extension before kickoff.

McNabb finished 17 of 31 for 295 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions, nearly all the yards coming after the Redskins had dug themselves a five-touchdown hole. Dimitri Patterson intercepted McNabb twice, returning one of them 40 yards for a touchdown.

Audio of the brief exchange between the two was provided to the Associated Press by WDAF-TV in Kansas City. McDaniels does not speak but Haley can clearly be heard saying as he pointed at the Denver coach and turned to walk away, “There’s a lot of (expletive) being talked about you.”

Panthers upset over hit; Clausen concussed

Just when rookie Jimmy Clausen and the Carolina offense finally showed some spark, the Panthers were hit with more bad news as Clausen’s status for next week is uncertain because of a concussion.
