January 11, 2004 - The Philadelphia Eagles faced "4th and 26", and were trailing the Green Bay Packers by 3 points in NFC Divisional Playoff Game. An ESPN.com story informs that it was the final drive for the Eagles and the game all came down to this one play with 1:12 remaining. Eagles Quarterback Donovan McNabb launched a great 28-yard strike to Freddie Mitchell to move the sticks and keep Philly's chances alive. The Eagles would go on to score on a David Akers field goal to tie the game at 17 and send the game to an extra sudden death session. The Packers had their chance in OT as they had the ball but an errant pass by Brett Favre was picked off by ball-hawking safety Brian Dawkins to set up the game-ending field goal by Akers in a 20-17 Eagles win. McNabb set a post-season quarterback rushing record with his 107 yards on the ground.
