Eagles stay perfect on road, defeat KC

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Philadelphia Eagles are at home on road. The Kansas City Chiefs are lost no matter where they play.

Rebounding from a dreadful effort, Donovan McNabb passed for 269 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 41 yards, leading Philadelphia past Kansas City 23-10 Thursday night.

The Eagles (7-4) stayed unbeaten in five road games and padded their lead over Washington in the NFC East to 1 1/2 games. Their eighth straight road win broke the team record set in 1949.

McNabb, after a 15-of-37 performance in a home loss to Washington, went 18-of-26. His opportunistic 15-yard dash on first-and-20 helped set up a 1-yard TD pass to rookie Tony Stewart for a 20-3 lead with 8:09 left in the third. McNabb also connected with Duce Staley on a 46-yard scoring play.

David Akers tied his Philadelphia record of 13 straight field goals, connecting from 24, 33 and 38 yards.

The Chiefs (3-8), who fell to 1-5 at home, managed only Todd Peterson's 29-yard field goal until Dante Hall's 59-yard kickoff return led to Trent Green's 3-yard TD pass to Derrick Alexander that made it 20-10 with 3:02 left in the third.

Kansas City was driving late in the fourth when Corey Simon knocked the ball out of Priest Holmes' hands and it was recovered by Bobby Taylor on the Chiefs 46. Then with 2:59 left, Al Harris intercepted Green's pass on the 2 and returned it to the 10.

Green was 19-of-33 for 208 yards, with one touchdown and one interception. He was ineffective trying to throw the ball downfield and resorted mostly to short passes in the second half.
