• Dec. 19, 2004 vs. Dal. ... trailing 7-6 with just over 6 minutes to go, led the Eagles on a game-winning 9-play, 64-yd. TD drive fueled by back-to-back scrambles that netted 31 yds. Dorsey Levens capped the drive with a 2-yd. TD run
• Oct. 24, 2004 at Cle. ... after the Browns scored a late TD to send the game into OT, both teams traded punts to begin the extra period. The Eagles used a 28-yd. scramble by McNabb, 18 yds. rushing by Levens and 18 yds. receiving by Reno Mahe to set up a David Akers 50-yd. game-winning FG
• Jan. 11, 2004 vs. GB ... in the NFC Divisional Playoff game, led the Eagles back from a 14-0 deficit in the 1st qtr. With 2:21 remaining, he took over at the Eagles own 20-yard line and began a dramatic game-tying drive, which included a miraculous 4th-n-26 completion to Freddie Mitchell to keep the drive alive. David Akers would later nail a 37-yd. FG to send the game into OT and then hit a 31-ydr. to win it
• Nov. 10, 2003 at GB ... orchestrated a memorable two-minute drill to defeat the Packers on MNF at Lambeau Field. Down 14-10 with 2:43 remaining, he drove the Eagles 65 yds. in 8 plays which culminated in a 6-yd. TD pass to Todd Pinkston

• Oct. 22, 2001 at NYG ... engineered a last-minute scoring drive on Monday Night Football to win, 10-9. Trailing 9-3 with just under 2 minutes left, McNabb found James Thrash in the right corner of the end zone for the winning 18-yd. TD pass
• Dec. 3, 2000 vs. Ten. ... led the Eagles on an 8-play, 77-yd. drive late in the 4th qtr. to give them a 13-12 lead. A last second 50-yd. FG by Al Del Greco gave the Titans the win
• Nov. 26, 2000 at Was. ... gained 125 yards rushing, leading to a 23-20 win. His highlight-film 21-yd. TD run saw him race by DE Bruce Smith, juke S Mark Carrier, and drag S Matt Stevens into the end zone. He also had a career-long 54-yd. scamper to set up the game-winning FG late in the 4th qtr.
