Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Michael Vick threw four interceptions, but
his touchdown pass to Clay Harbor with 1:18 remaining gave the Philadelphia
Eagles a 17-16 victory over the Cleveland Browns in a Week 1 nail-biter.
Vick, coming off a career-high 14 interceptions last season, made up for a
sloppy 3 1/2 quarters by guiding the Eagles on a 16-play, 91-yard drive that
ended in Harbor's four-yard score.
Brandon Weeden, the first Browns rookie to start the season under center in
the Super Bowl era, was intercepted for the fourth time on the ensuing
possession to seal the outcome.
Vick finished with 317 yards on 29-of-56 passes and also threw a touchdown
pass to Jeremy Maclin, who hauled in seven passes for 96 yards.
LeSean McCoy rushed for 110 yards on 20 carries, but accounted for another
turnover with a fumble.
Last year, the Eagles missed the postseason for just the fourth time in Andy
Reid's 13-year tenure as head coach thanks in part because of a -14 turnover
margin.
Weeden completed just 12-of-35 attempts for 118 yards, while fellow rookie
Trent Richardson was held to 39 yards on 19 carries.
Cleveland, which went 4-12 in Pat Shurmur's first season as head coach last
year, has not won its season opener since 2004.
