 Talk About It, Talk About It ...What Were Best Eagles Comebacks Ever? Sunday's lucky-bounce victory was one of the biggest jeers-to-cheers turnarounds in Philly football history. It ranks right up there with: (1) Fourth & 26. On Jan. 11, 2004, with just 1 minute 12 seconds left, Freddie Mitchell (right) stopped a Donovan McNabb bullet to keep a drive alive and let David Akers kick a game-tying field goal, setting up overtime. This ought to be No. 1, since it came in a 20-17 playoff win over Green Bay. (2) The Miracle of the Meadowlands. On Nov. 19, 1978, all Giants QB Joe Pisarcik had to do was kneel to win the game. But a handoff came loose, and Herman Edwards, who now coaches the Jets at the Meadowlands, scampered for an unforgettable victory. (3) Cunningham's comeback over the Redskins. On Sept. 17, 1989, the Eagles, once trailing by by 20 points, still faced a 9-point deficit with 3 minutes 6 seconds left. Two TD tosses later by Randall Cunningham, the Eagles had won, 42-37. (4) Brian Westbrook's punt return. Another Giants game. Just over a minute left. Oct. 19, 2003. The Birds back takes a punt 84 yards for a 14-10 victory. What other games belong on this list?
