What was going on around this game was impossible to ignore, starting with the short, but gracious video tribute to Reid the Eagles posted on the stadium scoreboards in the pre-game. First came a nice ovation from the crowd, and then came the reward he wanted more than anything else, sweet victory back in his old familiar haunt. As it turned out, Philadelphia's overly generous Eagles showed Reid way more hospitality than they ever intended to.
