Filed under: Eagles, Redskins, NFL Training CampDonovan McNabb enjoyed a happy debut in Washington Friday night, completing five of eight passes for 58 yards and a touchdown to receiver Anthony Armstrong on his two series as the host Redskins routed the bad and battered Buffalo Bills 42-17.
Kevin Kolb, the young quarterback who replaced McNabb in Philadelphia, was 6-for-11 for 95 yards while producing field goal on each of his series for the Eagles against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars in a game the Eagles would win 28-17.
Fair to say that both franchises are feeling good about the first results with their new starters at the NFL's most important position.
"It was an exciting time," said the 34-year-old McNabb, the Eagles' starter for the previous decade-plus. "When you play your first game with a new ballclub it takes you back to the first game you played. Your adrenaline is high and you have to settle down a little bit. The second time we went out ... it led to us putting up some points. There are a lot of things we have to work on, but I thought offensively we were able to progress."
