Vick Shines as Eagles Lead 20-3 at Halftime

Michael Vick has thrown for 141 yards and completed 12 of his 20 passes as the Eagles lead the Redskins 20-0 at halftime at FedEx Field.

The Eagles scored the first points of the game on their second possession of the game, driving 82 yards in 11 plays to take a 7-0 lead as Vick tossed a 7-yard-screen pass to Brent Celek, who took it in for a touchdown. The drive was helped immensely by a roughing-the-passer penalty against Brian Orakpo on a 2nd-and-12 play from Philadelphia's own 16.

Philadelphia doubled their lead on the second play of the second quarter as LeSean McCoy slipped through the left side and into the end zone from a yard out to make it 14-0, Eagles.

After another Redskins punt, Philadelphia drove into the red zone again, but the drive stalled, and the Eagles settled for a 28-yard Alex Henery field goal to take a 17-0 lead. 

On the first play from scrimmage after the field goal, Rex Grossman threw his second interception of the half, which set up another Henery field goal, this time from 24 yards away.

In contrast to Vick's stellar outing, Grossman had a less-than-stellar first half, completing just six of his 14 passes for 64 yards and throwing two interceptions, including one on the Redskins' first possession of the game. That initial possession, which was halted at the Philadelphia 38-yard-line, represents Washington's deepest penetration of the half.
