Vick accounts for 4 TDs as Eagles rout Jags 28-3
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Michael Vick threw three touchdown passes, ran for another score and the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-3 Sunday.
Vick completed 17 of 31 passes for 291 yards, mostly staying in the pocket and picking apart Jacksonville’s beleaguered secondary. One of the few times he did run, he broke a tackle, juked another defender and scored from 17 yards out.
He made coach Andy Reid’s quarterback decision look like the right one.
Vick found DeSean Jackson for a 61-yard touchdown and hooked up with Jeremy Maclin for two scores. Jackson finished with five catches for 153 yards, Maclin had four receptions for 83 yards, and the Eagles (2-1) improved to 2-0 with Vick as their starter.
Vick became the latest in a growing list of quarterbacks to torch the Jaguars (1-2).
David Garrard struggled again for Jacksonville, throwing for 83 yards and an interception.
