Michael Vick sparked a rally against Green Bay, dismantled Detroit and picked apart Jacksonville.
What does he have left to prove?
Maybe nothing — until some guy named Donovan McNabb returns to Philadelphia next week. For now, though, Vick made Andy Reid's quarterback decision look like the right one.
Vick threw three touchdown passes, ran for another score and led the Eagles to a 28-3 victory over the Jaguars on Sunday.
''He played his heart out today, so it's more about him than me or anybody else,'' Reid said. ''It's a tribute to what he's done and how he's handled things.''
Vick completed 17 of 31 passes for 291 yards, mostly staying in the pocket and dissecting Jacksonville's beleaguered secondary. One of the few times he did run, he broke a tackle, juked another defender and scored from 17 yards.
Vick found DeSean Jackson for a 61-yard touchdown and hooked up with Jeremy Maclin for two scores. Jackson finished with five catches for 153 yards, Maclin had four receptions for 83 yards, and the Eagles (2-1) improved to 2-0 with Vick as their starter.
''I moved on Thursday with all the hoopla that was going on,'' Vick said. ''I understand the circumstances and the reason for all the talk. ... It is a sigh of relief to move on and not talk about it anymore.''
