With Donovan McNabb out after the first week for the Philadelphia Eagles, it seemed like the next 2 weeks without him were going to be dreadful. Instead, the team has done quite well with their backup Kevin Kolb filling the void. In his first start against the New Orleans Saints, Kolb threw for 391 yards, despite losing the game 22-48. Week 3 however was a different story. Kolb again threw for over 300 yards, tallying up a total of 327 yards to go along with 2 touchdowns, in route of beating the Kansas City Chiefs 34-14.
Kolb became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 300 yards in his first two career starts. But in spite of all that, he'll have to return to the bench with McNabb set to return after Philadelphia's BYE week in week 4. Talk about a hard way to return the sidelines. But at least Eagles head coach Andy Reid will know who to call on if McNabb's fragile ribs happen to bother him again. After their BYE this week, McNabb will be expected to start at home against Tampa Bay.
