By Kevin Hilgers · Monday, Feb. 7, 2005

Thursday, Feb. 3, 2005

Ian Quillen Eagles: 23 Patriots: 21 On paper, New England is the only choice. But that doesn't make it the right one. Terrell Owens will play, catch a touchdown and then re-injure his knee, jeopardizing his career and leading to a Pats comeback.
