McNabb and Donte’ Stallworth are on their way to making the legacy Terrell Owens left on the Philadelphia Eagles disappear.
McNabb threw for 314 yards and three touchdowns, including one to Stallworth, to lead the Eagles to a 24-10 win over the Houston Texans on Sunday.
The game was Stallworth’s debut with the Eagles after a trade from the Saints, and McNabb’s regular-season return after missing the final seven games of last season after surgery to repair a sports hernia. It was also a promising start to Philadelphia’s first post-T.O. season.
No. 1 pick Mario Williams did not live up to the hype when he had three tackles but failed to make much of an impact.
The Eagles sputtered in the first quarter, with a punt ending their first possession and an interception by McNabb stopping the second.
