McNabb, Staley lead Eagles past Giants

PHILADELPHIA -- Donovan McNabb didn't need to use his arm. His legs were enough to beat the New York Giants.

McNabb ran for 111 yards and one touchdown, and Philadelphia had a remarkable 299 yards rushing as the Eagles beat the New York Giants 17-3 in the final Monday night game at Veterans Stadium.

It was Philadelphia's third straight victory over the Giants after losing nine in a row to them and gave the Eagles (5-2) a two-game lead over New York (3-4) and Washington (3-4) in the NFC East.

McNabb had just 137 yards passing, but the Eagles dominated the Giants on the ground. Duce Staley had 126 yards on 24 carries, and David Akers kicked three field goals in the first half in which the Eagles had the ball for 20:31.

Philadelphia hadn't had two 100-yard rushers since Oct. 8, 1995, when Ricky Watters and Charlie Garner did it against Washington. The Eagles had seven runs of 10 yards or more. The Giants had allowed just 11 such runs entering the game.

McNabb put the game away with a 40-yard TD run 4:30 into the fourth quarter that gave the Eagles a 15-3 lead and McNabb connected with Chad Lewis on a 2-point conversion. His run capped a nine-play, 99-yard drive that took 3:33.

Lewis may not return

The Baltimore Ravens are concerned Ray Lewis could be out for the season with a shoulder injury.

Lewis will miss a fourth straight game Sunday, against the Atlanta Falcons. Quarterback Chris Redman, who sat out last Sunday's 31-18 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, also will be sidelined this week.

Lewis, who had an MRI on Monday, has not played since partially separating his left shoulder Oct. 6 while pouncing on a loose ball.

Hospital releases Jackson

Seattle Seahawks receiver Darrell Jackson was released from a Texas hospital Monday, one day after sustaining a concussion and having a seizure in the locker room after a game against Dallas.

Quarterback Trent Dilfer also had surgery on his torn right Achilles' tendon and is out for the season.

Gilbert breaks hip Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Sean Gilbert will miss the rest of the season with a broken right hip, and linebacker Dan Morgan needs hernia surgery and will be out at least three weeks.

Gilbert, a 10-year veteran, was injured in the second half of Sunday's loss to Tampa Bay.
