McNabb and Owens combine to inspire Eagles

WARRING team-mates Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens put aside their differences to lead the Philadelphia Eagles to a 42-3 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in the early NFL games last night.

McNabb threw four of his five touchdown passes in the first 19 minutes, including a pair to Owens. The quarterback played three quarters, finishing 23-of-29 for 342 yards and tying his career-best for TD passes.

Owens had five catches for 143 yards in his first game against his former team. LJ Smith caught a career-best nine passes for 119 yards and one TD for Philadelphia (1-1). The two stars combined to put Owens over 10,000 yards receiving, making him the 22nd player to reach that mark.
