Michael Vick, Philadelphia Eagles (Matt) Dodge A New York Giant-Sized Bullet

Eli Manning’s New York Giants hosted Michael Vick’s Philadelphia Eagles Week 15 in arguably the day’s biggest matchup.

The Giants had the game won. The NFC East division was in their sight. Their playoff destiny was in their hands. With 8:17 to go in the game, Manning threw a touchdown to Kevin Boss to extend the Giants’ lead to 21 after gaining possession on a DeSean Jackson fumble.

Then Vick went to work.

Although he was contained for most of the game, Vick kept firing back at the Giants' defense. Less than one minute after the Boss touchdown, Vick found his own tight end, Brent Celek, for a 65-yard touchdown.

The Eagles caught the Giants napping. They recovered an onside kick that New York never saw coming.

Exactly two minutes later, Vick ran in a four-yard touchdown.

On the Eagles’ next possession, Vick found Jeremy Maclin for his second touchdown to tie the game with 1:18 left to go in the game.

When Manning couldn’t lead his offense to a first down, the Giants were forced to punt with 13 seconds left on the clock.

Jackson set back to return the punt. He muffed the Matt Dodge punt but managed to recover it and run up the middle of the field before cutting to the right and up field for a touchdown. Of course, the showboat he is, Jackson had to run to the opposite side of the goal line before finally entering to put the Giants out of the misery with no time left on the clock.

Justin Tuck could be seen sitting on the bench grinning at the unbelievable turn of events as he took his pads off.

Head coach Tom Coughlin threw down his papers and immediately went to Dodge, clearly irate. Coughlin could be seen lip-synching to Dodge that he was supposed to kick the ball out of bounds instead of kicking a line drive to Jackson, one of the deadliest return men in the NFL.

The Giants' collapse will be felt for a long time; it’s an embarrassing loss. Not only did they give up the 21-point lead, they gave up a bizarre walk-off punt return touchdown to their rival with the division on the line.

Vick, despite being disrupted all day, proved once again he is matching New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for the 2010 MVP award.

Vick completed 21 of 35 passes (60.0 completion percentage) for 242 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. He added 130 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries.

After a road comeback like this, the Eagles have proven they are one of the most resilient teams in the league. Vick clearly has the Eagles ready to soar to the Super Bowl.
