Donovan McNabb Joins Jaws, Randall As Only Eagles QBs to Start 100 Games

Ron Jaworski will be in attendance tonight for the Eagles matchup with the Washington Redskins at the Linc. Donovan McNabb will join Jaws to become part of an elite group. No, McNabb won't be working the booth with Tony Kornheiser. Donovan, with a start tonight, will become the third quarterback in Eagles history to start 100 games joining Jaworski and Randall Cunningham.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Eagles and the Houston Oilers-Tennessee Titans are the only teams in NFL history to have three quarterbacks with 100-plus starts. Dan Pastorini, Steve McNair and Warren Moon all started 100-plus games for that franchise, but playing in Houston and Nashville isn't quite the same as playing in Philadelphia.

It's a pretty impressive accomplishment to be able to deal with the fans of Philadelphia as the quarterback of the Eagles and take the heat. Jaws puts it all into perspective nicely, "I believe this can be the toughest town to play in and the best town to play in. When things are going well and you're playing well and winning, you're the toast of the town. When the team is losing and you're not sharp, you're a bum. There's a tremendous passion for the game, and the quarterback is always the focal point."

In other interesting MNF news, tonight will mark the first time Eagles linebacker Takeo Spikes will ever play on Monday Night. Despite being a seasoned veteran, Spikes has yet to play on the biggest regular season stage.
