With Kolb starting, the Eagles headed to San Francisco for a "Sunday Night Football" match against the 0–4 49ers. Kolb passed for 253 yards and one touchdown to lead his team to a 27–24 victory. Philadelphia won its first home game in week 6 by overpowering the Falcons 31–17. Kolb continued to improve, passing for 326 yards, three touchdown passes, and one interception. However, he was not able to sustain this momentum in the week 8 game against Tennessee, throwing two interceptions and only one touchdown. The Eagles lost 37–19 to enter their bye week at 4–3, and once again Vick was brought out as starter prior to hosting Indianapolis in week 10. This game proved an intense, highly physical contest as Vick scored two touchdowns (one passing and one rushing) and Philadelphia overcame stubborn resistance by the Colts to win 27–24. Afterwards, the Eagles headed to Washington, where, for the second year in a row, they faced the Redskins on "Monday Night Football". Philadelphia quickly marched out to two touchdowns in the first quarter, putting them up at 14–0 within five minutes. By the second quarter, they had scored another two, leading by 28 points. Four more touchdowns followed in a 59–28 blowout of Washington. All in all, there were eight (four passing, three rushing, and one interception return), six of which were from Michael Vick, who had 333 passing and 80 rushing yards for one of the finest performances of his career.
