NFL Weekly Look Ahead – Week 6
By: Jordan Adams

Both coming off big home wins, Philadelphia and New Orleans come into week six’s match-up at 4-1. The Eagles held off a late rally by Dallas while Reggie Bush had the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter, his first pro score. Bush brought back a punt to the house with about four minutes left in the game and his team down 21-17 over Tampa Bay. Bush’s touchdown continued New Orleans magical season and kept them perfect at home in the Superdome.

For Philly, Donovan McNabb continues to be spectacular and has been the league’s best player over the first five games of the year. All he has done is throw for over 1600 yards with 11 touchdowns to just one interception. The Saints will counter will their signal caller Drew Brees. In his first season in the Big Easy he has been successful thus far. He has effectively controlled the ball and helped to lead the offense that is very talented across the board.

Without a doubt this will be the Saints’ toughest test thus far in ’06, but they do host this game in the Superdome and that will have a predominant effect in the outcome of this game.
