INSIDE THE NFC EAST.(National Football Conference East news)(Statistical Data Included)
2000 HIGHS AND LOWS
BEST SURPRISE: Donovan McNabb, QB, Eagles. He led his team to the playoffs without a quality wide receiver and no running game for more than half of the season.
BIGGEST BUST: The Redskins proved that money can't buy a Super Bowl. Washington imploded because of injuries, poor play and Danny boy.
BEST BAND-AID: David Boston, WR, Cardinals. He had a strong season despite having to fill the void left by Rob Moore's injury, his team's bad offensive line and an ineffective quarterback.
MOST PAINFUL INJURY: Joey Galloway, WR, Cowboys. The way he went out--with a tom knee ligament suffered late in a blowout loss in Week 1, when he should have been out of the game--was just plain stupid.
PLAY TO REMEMBER: McNabb's 21-yard scamper for a touchdown against the Redskins in Week 13. He outran one Redskin, schooled another and carried a third the final 3 yards into the end zone.
PLAY TO FORGET: In Week 16, Steelers RB Richard Huntley bounced off a tackle by Washington's Mark Carrier and ran over Champ Bailey to score on a 30-yard run, sealing the Redskins' non-playoff fate.
