Young leads Eagles to key victory

By Tom Canavan, AP Sports Writer

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Vince Young threw a go-ahead 8-yard touchdown pass to Riley Cooper with 2:45 to play and the undermanned Eagles finally got things right in the fourth quarter, posting a 17-10 victory over the Giants.

In what was a must-win game for Andy Reid's struggling team Sunday night, the Eagles, who had lost five games in the fourth quarter earlier this season, marched 80 yards in 18 plays over 8:51. They converted six third-down plays with DeSean Jackson setting up the first-and-goal with a 10-yard catch to the 10.

On third-and-goal, Young found Cooper, who hadn't caught a pass all season, alone in the end zone for the lead that gave the Eagles (4-6) hope in what has been a dismal season.
