LeSean McCoy helped the Eagles snap a two-game skid.
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) -
Rookie LeSean McCoy rushed for 99 yards and scored the game-winning touchdown late in the fourth quarter after the Eagles capitalized on a blocked field goal to pick up a much-needed 24-20 victory over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
McCoy was filling in for an injured Brian Westbrook, who missed his fourth game of the year. Donovan McNabb completed 23-of-32 passes for 244 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception for Philadelphia (6-4), which snapped a two- game skid. DeSean Jackson hauled in eight passes for 107 yards and a score for the victors, who are tied with the Giants for second place in the NFC East, a game behind Dallas.
Jay Cutler connected on 24-of-43 passes for 171 yards, a touchdown, and an interception for the Bears (4-6), who have dropped three straight games. Kahlil Bell rushed the ball four times for 81 yards. Kellen Davis had a TD catch in defeat.

Finally, I've found a way to work Ray "Buzz" Buivid into a story.
Buivid's name was in the news after a mere 72-year-gap on Sunday, when the Lions' Matthew Stafford reportedly became the first rookie quarterback to throw five touchdown passes in a game since said Buivid did so for the 1937 Chicago Bears.
Hopefully for Stafford's sake, his career turns out a bit better than his predecessor in the 5-TD column. Buivid ended his two-year NFL run with a grand total of 11 touchdown passes before fading into obscurity along with the football program of his alma mater, Marquette.
