How can you watch Vick this season and not love every moment of it? His games and game play are remarkable.
Vick threw for 302 yards and scored a go-ahead TD in the fourth quarter to lead the Eagles to a 34-24 win Thursday night.
Vick was hurried most of the game but he never let it overwhelm him. He made huge plays despite a slew of hard hits. Vick scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 2 yard run and the Eagles will hold their seat at the top of the NFC East.
"I'm used to taking hits. It's not that bad," Vick said. "If I take one and I lay down, then I took a good one. But I'm a pretty tough guy. I bounce back when I can. There's no science to getting hit, or protecting yourself."
It was the first time Vick led the Eagles back from a fourth quarter deficit. They led 14-3 in the first half before falling behind 24-20.Vick completed 22 of 33 passes for two touchdowns and had his third 300 yard game.
"This young man is playing as good as anybody I've seen play in the NFL and I've been doing it for a while," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said of Vick. "He's special and we just tried to contain him, but obviously he still had a big night. He's been doing it against a lot of people so. ... We had a couple of chances for turnovers. He gave us a couple of opportunities that we just didn't take advantage of."
"He got knocked around a little bit," Reid said. "He got back up and kept going. I loved his energy in the second half. Both sides of the ball, he was firing them up."
Once again I'll say it, Vick should be this season's MVP!
