Most Eagles fans remember that crazy 4th and 26 play against the Green Bay Packers back in 2004. That tremendous play by Donovan McNabb is one that defined his career. The Packers would much rather have forgotten it, however, as they prepared to take on the birds on Monday night in Philly, the Eagles made sure they were reminded.

It may have been that the Eagles were doing it in honor of who was on the receiving end of that play, Freddie Mitchell, who was in the building on Monday night.
