PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Donovan McNabb passed for two touchdowns and ran for two more Monday to lead the Philadelphia Eagles to a 31-9 win over the Green Bay Packers.
McNabb completed 16-of-30 passes for 288 yards without an interception and ran for 47 yards for Philadelphia (3-1).
Greg Lewis had two touchdowns and 75 yards receiving for Philadelphia.
Brett Favre struggled, completing just 22-of-44 passes for 205 yards with two interceptions for the Packers (1-3), who committed three turnovers that led to 21 points for the Eagles.
The two teams played without their starting running backs. Philadelphia's Brian Westbrook missed the game with a knee injury, while Green Bay's Ahman Green sat out with a hamstring ailment.
Correll Buckhalter started for the Eagles and had problems handling the ball. Buckhalter, who had a team-leading 49 yards on 11 carries, first botched a hand-off attempt from McNabb and later lost a fumble.
