McNabb Sets Record

Donovan McNabb broke an NFL record by completing 24 consecutive passes over two games.

McNabb completed his first 14 passes in Philadelphia's 47-17 victory over Green Bay on Sunday. He had completed his last 10 passes in a victory over the New York Giants the previous week.

Joe Montana held the old record with 22 straight completions against Cleveland and Green Bay in 1987.

McNabb finished 32-of-43 for a club-record 464 yards and a career-high five-touchdown performance against the Packers.

Commentary: While McNabb isn't qualified to hold Montana's jock - it's a great showing nonetheless. Donovan has been distributing the ball well, and his efficiency has greatly improved.
