"They are playing extremely well on defense obviously and offensively they are finding ways to score points. You look at the games that they have won down the stretch, with the exception probably being the Washington game, but what they did to Dallas and then the Minnesota game, I think that we all felt that there was a good chance that we were going to be playing them and that is the way it turned out.”- C Shaun O'Hara on playing the Eagles
