looks like the season is already over for the iggles:
McNabb should have run from cover

(May 13, 2005) -- With the way the Eagles offseason has gone, the last thing they needed was quarterback Donovan McNabb on the cover of Madden NFL 06.
But McNabb, usually the model team guy, goes and does the one thing that threatens to extend Philadelphia's 45-year-old football championship drought.
He becomes a cover boy.
Didn't somebody give him a history lesson first?
Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper posed on the cover of Madden NFL 02 and, sure enough, that season he threw a career-low 14 touchdowns and watched his head coach, Dennis Green, get fired.
The next year, Rams running back Marshall Faulk landed on the cover and he underwent surgery on his left knee while recovering from surgery on his left hand -- all while he rushed for under 1,000 yards for the first time since 1996.
The next year, Falcons quarterback Michael Vick turned into Madden's cover boy -- and he promptly broke his right leg, ending Atlanta's season before it began.
Last year, Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis graced the cover and fractured his wrist, forcing him out of Baltimore's regular-season finale and helping prevent his team from going to the playoffs.
