Four days after DeSean Jackson was shut down at Chicago and called out by Eagles coach Andy Reid after the defeat, Philadelphia's receiver wasted no time having an impact Thursday night. It wasn't quite up to the standard Jackson set with an 88-yard touchdown on the first snap against Washington in Week 10 on "Monday Night Football," but his 30-yard catch on the opening play jump-started an 88-yard touchdown drive to start the Eagles' 34-24 victory over visiting Houston.Jackson's 21-yard catch on third-and-3 on Philadelphia's second series moved the Eagles into Houston territory. They scored seven plays later to extend their lead to 14-3, having held the ball for 12:29 of the first 15:30.
Houston had closed within 17-10 when Eagles defensive tackle Trevor Laws intercepted Matt Schaub's pass at the Philadelphia 31, setting up David Akers' 22-yard field goal just before halftime. However, Schaub led an 11-play, 79-yard touchdown march, which he finished with a 13-yard toss to NFL rushing leader Arian Foster, to start the second half. Schaub then followed Jason Allen's interception with a 13-play, 86-yard drive -- highlighted by a 31-yard pass to Andre Johnson on 3rd-and-17 -- to give Houston a 24-21 lead.
Michael Vick answered, hitting a 33-yard completion to Jackson to set up the quarterback's 1-yard touchdown sneak two plays later, which put Philadelphia back on top.
