Philadelphia Eagles vs Detroit Lions

Ford Field, Detroit, MI
Michael Vick nearly rallied the Philadelphia Eagles to a season-opening victory replacing an injured Kevin Kolb last week.
He now gets his first start in nearly four years as the Eagles try to bounce back Sunday against a Detroit Lions team also without its starting quarterback.
Kolb suffered a concussion in the second quarter of Philadelphia's 27-20 home defeat to Green Bay in Week 1, and coach Andy Reid said Friday that Vick, who completed 16-of-24 passes for 175 yards with a touchdown while also running for 103 yards, will be the starter since Kolb hasn't recovered enough to play.
"Michael is excited to step in and play," Reid said. "As we all know, he was one of the great quarterbacks in the league before he was incarcerated.
