Donovan McNabb Benched

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was benched after the first half of Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens following a decidedly dismal performance in which he committed three turnovers and failed to produce any points.

McNabb was 8-for-18 for 59 yards and two interceptions and a fumble — a miserable 13.2 quarterback rating. A week earlier, he threw three interceptions and lost a fumble in an overtime tie with Cincinnati. After that game, the 10-year veteran said he didn’t realize an NFL game could end in a tie.

With the Eagles down 10-7 at halftime Sunday, Philadelphia coach Andy Reid turned to Kevin Kolb, a second-round pick who didn’t throw a pass as a rookie last year and had attempted nine throws this season.
