16th December, 2008 - 12:04 am
Andrew Perna/RealGM - The Eagles (8-5-1) beat the Browns (4-10) 30-10 on Monday night to stay alive in the NFC playoff picture.

Donovan McNabb went 26-for-35 with 290 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Kevin Kolb came on in relief early in the fourth quarter, finishing 0-for-2 with an interception as Philadelphia kept the ball on the ground.

Correll Buckhalter, Brian Westbrook and Kyle Eckel combined for 136 yards on thirty-one carries. Jason Avant led the team in receiving with five catches for 101 yards, and DeSean Jackson added 77 yards on five receptions.

Kevin Curtis and Greg Lewis both caught touchdown passes off the arm of McNabb.

Cornerback Asante Samuel joined in the fun as well, returning an interception 50 yards in the second quarter for his first touchdown as a member of the Eagles.

Cleveland's Ken Dorsey went 11-for-28 with 156 yards and two interceptions. Their offense looked great on their first drive, but after it ended with a field goal the Philadelphia defense kept them off the board.

The team's only other points came on a 24-yard interception return by Brandon McDonald midway through the fourth quarter.

Braylon Edwards led Cleveland on offense with five catches for 102 yards, his third 100-yard performance on Monday Night Football this season. [READ]
