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.
