Clay Harbor makes biggest catch of career
Zach Berman, Inquirer Staff Writer
Clay Harbor made the biggest catch of his career when he pulled in a four-yard touchdown to set up an extra point that gave the Eagles the win. Harbor said it was the same play that resulted in a touchdown during the preseason against the New England Patriots. It’s set up for Harbor to get a one-on-one against the middle linebacker, and that’s what happened Sunday.
“There was a small window, [Michael Vick] put it in the only place he could have,” Harbor said. “It was a great ball, and I couldn’t have done anything but catch it.”
Harbor caught three passes for 16 yards. He was targeted by Vick six times, evidence that the third-year tight end will have a relevant role in the offense.
DRC OK, HAS BIG GAME
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie suffered a stinger, but returned to the game. After going all of last season without an interception, Rodgers-Cromartie had two on Sunday.
“I give credit to the D-line because I knew the ball was going to have to come out fast and I was just snapping my head around to just a feel for where the ball is,” Rodgers-Cromartie said “You know when there is an opportunity for an interception, you have to make it.”
It was the third multi-interception game of Rodgers-Cromartie’s career.

DRC is the real deal and will have a monster season.— eaglesfancostarica- DRC dropped a third pick! Good for him...we need him badly. It's one game against a horrible team with a rookie QB, but the D looked legit. WTF is going on with the playcalling? Mccoy is unstoppable. Run the damn ball until they stop you.— djack10
