Game 1

Following SB06, we resumed battle with the Patriots prevailing over the Eagles, 13-10. The game was a terrific defensive struggles, as is often expected following long layaways. The key player, once again, was BETHEL JOHNSON. Although he totaled -14 yds on 10 rushing attempts due to ill-fated WR reverses, Bethel scored the Patriots' lone touchdown on one such reverse, and also converted the clinching first down from 4th and 2 to seal the game. This clutch run followed a 3rd and 27 reception by Bethel who dove 3 yards at the end of the play to get within 2 yards of the marker. Tom Brady was also 15-20 for 219 yds and a 110.2 QB rating.

For Anish, the Eagles once again came up short, like McNabb (110 yds, 1 td, 1 int) so often does. On one particular play, Bethel was double-covered by Eagles defenders and came down with a reception over Jevon Kearse. At this point, Ajai Tuli remarked, "That's Donovan in disguise." It must also be mentioned that Brian Westbrook (77 yds, 20 carries) dropped a key 1st and Goal pass that turned the tide of the game in favor of Bethel Johnson. Reggie Brown had 112 yds receiving. Bethel! Bethel! Rematch coming immediately.
