EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Donovan McNabb threw for 278 yards, including a 75-yard touchdown pass to Kevin Curtis, to lead Philadelphia to a 16-9 win.
Brian Westbrook ran for 120 yards, and David Akers kicked three field goals as the Eagles (2-3) improved to 8-0 all-time against the Jets (1-5). The Eagles are 9-0 in games after the bye under Coach Andy Reid.

After having a week off following their loss to the Giants in which McNabb was sacked 12 times, the Eagles protected their quarterback and allowed three sacks.

The Jets, wearing the navy and blue uniforms of their previous incarnation, the New York Titans, had a chance to tie it late, but Sheldon Brown knocked away Chad Pennington's pass in the end zone intended for Laveranues Coles.
