in his eagles debut. he goes 4 for 5 on his first drive connecting with come lynson, 15 yard gain. and on the next drive, tebow to rasheed bailey. nice grab there. he made an impression in this game. tebow calling his own number. scores a touchdown. he says this reminded him just how much he missed football. tebow is 6 for 12, eagles win 36-10. here are the quarterbacks on how they did. >> felt good to get out and play against another team, get a scoring drive going. i got to use my legs a little bit. that was fun. a couple throws i thought i could have completed. got a touchdown there. it was fun. good. i just wanted to play good football. if that didn't make a statement, so be it. i wanted to make plays, be

consistent with the football. the important thing is to just get completions. then the drive starts going and the plays open up. i think we did that tonight. >> we did some things decent and things we got to work on. try to be more consistent and improve communication with line and receivers. that's a big key. it's never as good as it seems or as bad as it seems. we just have to try to improve. >> and tebow probably got all of the biggest cheers. how about nelson aguilar? begun caught up with him after the game. >> reporter: what were you just expecting? >> no real expect tagss. wanted to come out here and compete and put things on film.

touchdown. tell me about the touchdown play in particular? >> great read. tried to finish the play. >> reporter: everybody talks about the speed of the game going from practice to an actual game. >> we prepare ourselves to simulate the speed of the game in practice. i thought that this was actually a little slower than the way we practice. we practice hard and we push ourselves through uncomfortable situations so we come out here today and have some fun. >> reporter: great sign out of the rookie there. on to the phillies. chase utley sitting out today. let's take you to milwaukee and boy the phillies ran into it today. ryan brawn is going to take heat in the fifth inning for a grand slam. so aaron leads with 14 losses. philliies lose 6-1.
