LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) -Donovan McNabb called it a ``must win,'' and just to be clear, he was only referring to his Philadelphia Eagles. That the Chicago Bears are in a similar spot was merely a coincidence, yet after a rough few weeks, that's where these teams stand heading into their game Sunday night. The Eagles (5-4) are coming off two close losses. The Bears (4-5) have dropped four of five. And both teams desperately need a win at Soldier Field. ``This is a must win for us and that's the way that we |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Donovan McNabb looks around in the huddle and sees guys who were in high school or college when he led the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl five years ago. With so many inexperienced starters, especially on offense, it's no wonder the Eagles have been inconsistent this season. ``I've tried to put a little pressure on my shoulders to challenge those guys and make sure that they are prepared early in the season, also throughout the course of the season,'' McNabb said. ``At this particu |

| Philadelphia, PA (MySportsbook) - Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook has been officially ruled out of Sunday's game against the Bears after suffering his second concussion of the season. Westbrook returned after a two-game absence last week only to sustain his second concussion in as many games. He met with specialists in Pittsburgh to determine his future going forward, as it has been rumored that the head injuries may be career-threatening. In Week 7, Westbrook was hit on the head by a defender |

San Diego Chargers running back LaDainian Tomlinson can somewhat relate thanks to a subtle gift his wife, LaTorsha, left for him in his locker before he ran all over the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday's 31-23 victory at Qualcomm Stadium. Inside a purple bag, which Tomlinson originally thought was a necklace, was a positive pregnancy test. While the couple has been trying to establish a family over the past few years, Tomlinson had been |

PHILADELPHIA: The Philadelphia Eagles missed out on a chance to tie Dallas for the NFC East's top spot with this past Sunday's 31-23 loss at San Diego, a game which brought back a double-bad case of deja vu for the team.

In fact, the Bears will enter a Week 11 showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles - another primetime affair - with just 15 takeaways on the year, an average of fewer than two per game that is a major disappointment after the team finished second in the league with 32 takeaways a year ago.

| N.J. (AP) -The bye week turned into a bonanza for the New York Giants. Not only did quarterback Eli Manning and company get a chance to rest and get away from a four-game losing streak, the Giants (5-4) also got lucky. The Dallas Cowboys (6-3), Philadelphia Eagles (5-4) and Atlanta Falcons (5-4) all lost while the Giants were hunting, fishing and watching football games, and New York's playoff chances improved markedly. New York is now a game behind Dallas in the NFC East and tied with Philadelphia, Atlanta |

| San Diego, CA (MySportsbook) - Philadelphia Eagles running back Brian Westbrook suffered another concussion during Sunday's game against San Diego. The versatile back returned to the field for the first time since sustaining a concussion in a Week 7 contest against Washington. The oft-injured Westbrook, who also missed a game this season due to an ankle sprain, had just six carries for 28 yards before exiting. The Eagles lost the game, 31-23.
