2 EASY dropped interceptions by Eagles DB's in the minnesota end of the field kept that game way, way closer than it should have been.
Dropped interceptions are one of the biggest killers in NFL games, it amazes me it's not a tracked stat.
Peterson and Westbrook both showed today that even if you shut down a star player for 99% of their plays they can still break your back in a flash.
Eagles rookie WR DeSean Jackson also had a huge game, with about 200 total yards in punt returns and receptions. He is an extremely dangerous playmaker.
Winning against the Giants in NY will be very tough, but it is certainly possible.

D'oh!
I guess that's why they play the games. Or as they say, "On any given sunday..."
