McNabb's 62% completion percentage is misleading. Three of his incompletions were for INT's (one of which took points off the board and another stalled a great drive in NE territory). In addition, he threw several more near INT's and a lot of just bad balls. Poor game by his standards.
The Eagles D gave up big plays and were horrendous on defending the screen pass. I counted at least four 1st downs that they gave up on screen passes.
Patriots: Great throws by Brady, big plays on defense, the usual recipe for a Super Bowl victory. Oh yeah, I forgot, add a touch of good running game to that recipe.
